Abstract

Disclosed are methods and systems for confirming the identification of samples processed by a high-throughput analytical technique. The method may include distributing a plurality of individual samples to individual predetermined positions of a multi-sample test unit and distributing an identifier material to at least one predetermined position of the multi-sample test unit. The method may also include determining the absence or presence of an analyte in the plurality of individual samples, and determining the presence of the identifier material, wherein the presence of the identifier material at the predetermined position of the multi-sample test unit is used to confirm the identity of the plurality of individual samples positioned in the multi-sample test unit. Also disclosed are systems for performing the methods. The methods and systems may be applied to high-throughput LC-MS/MS or other analytical methods.
