Clinical and toxicology laboratories are performing ever-increasing numbers of mass spectrometry-based assays, forcing them to address the major bottleneck in their workflows – manual sample preparation. Tecan provides tailored workflow automation solutions combining precise liquid handling with an in-depth understanding of major extraction technologies.
SPE cartridges are used in a broad variety of labs – hospitals, toxicology service labs performing medicolegal drug testing, CROs doing bioanalytical/bioequivalence studies, and food contaminant testing labs.
The manual process is very labor-intensive, meaning technicians are prone to RSI and are routinely exposed to hazardous solvents. Human errors lead to lower TATs and more repeat tests, resulting in higher costs and lower overall efficiency.
Learn moreMass spectrometry is becoming the tool of choice for biomarker research, due to its sensitivity, accuracy and ability to resolve PTMs. However, conventional enrichment and concentration methods for MS analysis can be labor-intensive and unreliable.
MSIA™ (Mass Spectrometric Immunoassay) Streptavidin EVO micro columns represent the next generation of affinity microcolumns, with the ability to capture and concentrate low abundance proteins from various sample types.
