To streamline LC-MS workflows and accelerate sample cleanup and preparation, Thermo Fisher Scientific launched 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.
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.
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.
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.
