Description
Analysis of target compounds in complex biological matrices presents significant challenges for clinical research and toxicology laboratories. Immunoassays and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry either lack specificity and quantitative accuracy, or require slow, labor-intensive, and expensive sample preparation. Liquid chromatography combined with mass spectrometry (LC/MS) offers higher-quality, more-relevant information.
The Thermo Scientific Prelude SPLC sample preparation and liquid chromatography system is specifically designed to make the selectivity, versatility, and quantitative accuracy of LC/MS more accessible to clinical research and toxicology laboratories. The Prelude SPLC system:
• Enhances LC/MS performance
• Increases productivity
• Simplifies operation
• Maximizes uptime and minimizes operating cost
Matched to a Thermo Scientific mass spectrometer, a Prelude SPLC system provides automated cleanup and reproducible, high-performance separation of complex samples. Preprogrammed, application-specific LC/MS research methods accelerate setup and reduce time to data acquisition.
