Featured article: Development of a rapid and specific MALDI-TOF mass spectrometric assay for SARS-CoV-2 detection

We have developed a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometric assay allowing a rapid, sensitive, robust and specific detection of SARS-CoV-2 infections in patient samples. Specifically, our approach enabled us to distinguish the SARS-CoV-2 delta variant from other viral variants and will be of potential use to detect other viral, bacterial and fungal infections.

Archival content

In 2011, Clinical Proteomics converted from a subscription publication to a fully open access journal. The journal's back content can be viewed on SpringerLink.

Aims and scope

Clinical Proteomics encompasses all aspects of translational proteomics. Special emphasis will be placed on the application of proteomic technology to all aspects of clinical research and molecular medicine. The journal is committed to rapid scientific review and timely publication of submitted manuscripts.
