The increasing demand for mass spectrometry services, coupled with the need to reduce costs, makes process automation a logical step in MS analytics. Automation solves process bottlenecks, coping effectively with sample and method variations to efficiently feed your MS analysis.
Tecan’s flexible Freedom EVO® platforms are designed to support new in-house or reagent kit methodologies for key applications, including
-
Toxicology
— Drug testing or therapeutic drug monitoring in clinical and forensic laboratories based on automated extraction workflows, for example, for immunosuppressants, antibiotics, anti-epileptics and antipsychotics. -
Endocrinology and oncology
— Preparation of endogenous steroid hormones, including steroids and catecholamines, in biological samples with sample clean-up on automated SPE workstations. ELISA processing can also be accommodated. -
Vitamins
— Rapid, small-volume sample processing, for example for determining vitamins B1, B6 and D, using the Tecan AC Extraction Plate™ to remove interfering matrices. -
Clinical Research
— Efficient workflows for drug screening or biomarker identification with fast sample preparation to remove proteins or interfering matrices.
Several extraction methods can be combined on a single, upgradeable platform, offering varied levels of automation, from pipetting and sample tracking to full automation, with just one or several different separation devices.
