Simply uncap blood collection tubes (or specialized sample cups) and place them into the system.
Select the appropriate method from the touch screen, and then the CLAM-2040 performs the next
steps automatically: dispensing the sample onto the specialized filter vial, adding reagents, shaking,
heating, filtering, and transferring the extracted sample to the LC-MS system autosampler. The LCD
touchscreen allows for rapid control through the dedicated user-oriented software. Containers for
liquid waste and filter waste reduce the infection risk and ensure operator safety. Easy access to all
system automated parts, consumables, and waste also allows for easy maintenance over time.
