The purpose of this report is to compare seven different methods for biomarker detection and quantification based on previously published papers. The methods investigated are ELISA, LC-MS/MS, UPLC-MS/MS, LC-IM/MS, IA-LC-MS/MS, MSIA-HR/AM, HTRF and AlphaLISA ® . The focus lies on biomarkers relevant for diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular diseases.Namely insulin, proinsulin, glucagon and C-peptide. Particular significance is assigned to the comparison of the currently widest used method, ELISA, with various types of LC-MS/MS. The report concludes ELISA being superior to LC-MS/MS methods in terms of recovery and precision, while LC-MS/MS is superior in accuracy, multiplexing, specificity, throughput and sample cost. This suggests that different types of LC-MS/MS has the potential to gain momentum in the field of biomarker quantification if they become more available.
