Description
The CLAM-2030 provides users seamless integration of automated sample preparation and LC-MS/MS to improve data quality, sample throughput, laboratory efficiency and safety. The system automatically performs all of the processes necessary for analyzing blood and other biological samples. By automating operations such as dispensing, stirring, filtering, heating, and sample transfer, the system effectively improves data accuracy and achieves the reproducibility needed for clinical research and forensic toxicology. Such steps can be combined to perform tasks such as deproteination, internal standard addition, derivatization and glucuronidase digestion.
Key features/benefits include:
Seamless Integration of Sample Preparation and LC-MS/MS Analysis - Simply place the blood collection tubes to be analyzed, necessary reagents, and specialized pretreatment vials into the CLAM-2000, which then performs all processes automatically
- STAT or Emergency Sample functionality allows users to prioritize urgent samples for quick results with minimal interruption.
- The CLAM-2000 frees up time spent by laboratory staff performing tedious sample preparation steps, thus increasing laboratory efficiency
Reduced Operator Errors and Enhanced Laboratory Safety During Procedures - Eliminates manual operations involving biological samples, such as dispensing. Not only does this improve reproducibility of data, but it minimizes user contact with biohazardous material
- Potentially infectious waste products are kept isolated inside the system. This allows such waste to be disposed of after the analysis is finished, according to the procedures specified for that laboratory
The system also offers a variety of functions that elevate research and business efficiency, as it automates processes including searching toxicological drug libraries, providing the optimal analytical method, facilitating data review and generating reports. The CLAM-2030 can measure hundreds of compounds in a single analysis and makes it easy to change between different methods. In addition, its flexible HPLC and MS configuration allows the unit to meet specific application needs.
