The lab analyst measures the amount of or detects the presence of stereoisomers of a single drug class in the patient specimen. Stereoisomers are chemicals that are made of the same chemical components in the same order, but differ in spatial configuration. Enantiomers are two stereoisomers that are mirror images of each other. Both forms have the same physical and chemical properties but differ in their biological properties.
