Summary:
Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Transcend VLTX-1 UHPLC system automates LC-MS sample cleanup and preparation, enhancing throughput, efficiency, and reproducibility while reducing manual errors and costs.
Takeaways:
- Increases Sample Throughput – Automates complex sample cleanup with TurboFlow technology or SPE to improve lab efficiency and data quality.
- Reduces Costs and Downtime – Minimizes manual preparation, lowering labor costs and instrument downtime for enhanced productivity.
- Simplifies Workflow Control – Integrated Aria MX software enables seamless management of multiple LC-MS methods.
To streamline LC-MS workflows and accelerate sample cleanup and preparation, Thermo Fisher Scientific is launching the Thermo Scientific Transcend VLTX-1 ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) system. Alleviating time-intensive, manual processes that impact consistency in the laboratory, the system automates complex sample cleanup and preparation workflows to minimize manual errors and increase sample throughput.
The Transcend VTLX-1 UHPLC System Enhances Sample Throughput
Sample preparation is a major bottleneck in many laboratories but is required to eliminate effects from complex biological and environmental matrices in LC-MS assays. The Transcend VTLX-1 UHPLC system overcomes these challenges by enabling rapid, online sample cleanup using Thermo Scientific TurboFlow technology or solid phase extraction (SPE) to enhance the lab’s sample throughput, sensitivity and method robustness for greater efficiency, data quality, and reproducibility.
Facilitates Sample Injection into LC-MS Workflows
The Transcend VTLX-1 UHPLC system combines advanced online chromatographic techniques to facilitate sample injection into LC-MS workflows and streamline the analysis of complex matrices to save time and reduce costs for laboratories in clinical research, forensic toxicology, food safety and environmental testing.
Among the system’s benefits:
Reduces costs and downtime – Automated, online sample cleanup with TurboFlow technology minimizes manual preparation, cuts labor costs, and reduces instrument downtime for better overall lab efficiency and a smaller footprint.
Enhances method robustness and reproducibility – Consistent sample cleanup and preparation methods achieve higher reproducibility and robustness for LC-MS assays.
Connected software for seamless setup and control – Thermo Scientific Aria MX software simplifies sample prep and cleanup by allowing laboratories to control multiple LC-MS methods simultaneously from pump operations, valve switching, cleaning, and more.
