New Fully Automated Sample Preparation Module for LC-MS

CLAM-2040

Pave the way for the future

of clinical research.

Operational improvements in LC-MS systems have made LC/MS an
advantageous technique for clinical research, thanks to its specificity, its
accuracy and its capability to analyze several targets simultaneously. The
CLAM-2040 is an online automated sample preparation module that
brings LC-MS smoothly into your laboratory. The CLAM-2040
Mass Spectrometry Systems
accompanies you on most of the analytical workflow and improves your
overall throughput by drastically reducing the sample preparation time. Typical LC/MS analysis workflow in the clinical research laboratory.
Simply place the blood tubes in position and the CLAM-2040 performs
