The 19th International Reid Bioanalytical Forum was attended by over 120 participants. The Forum divided into approximately eight broad topics, although not always in the same session. The meeting commenced with a discussion on metabolites in safety testing, with emphasis on enabling technologies and philosophies. This was followed by a variety of regulatory-based issues initiated by Brian Booth of the US FDA. The next day started with a review of developing technologies in LC–MS and some anecdotal troubleshooting experiences. Interspersed among the sessions were experiences with bioanalysis in the discovery environment, biomarker-based topics and the rapidly developing field of the quantitation of proteins and peptides using LC–MS. The meeting finished with the best-attended session of the Forum on developing trends in using dried blood spots.
