Antifungal Drug Monitoring

Antifungal agents are assayed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectroscopy (LC-MS-MS). The results are highly specific and are not influenced by the use of antifungal combination therapy.

For the following tests, please send serum (250 µl minimum) or 3mL clotted blood in a plain tube; EDTA blood is not suitable
