Description
The Clinical Laboratory Automation Module (CLAM-2040) is a fully automated sample preparation module for LCMS designed to improve the reproducibility of test results while increasing laboratory efficiency. The CLAM-2040 module automatically performs all processes necessary for analyzing biological samples, including sample and reagent pipetting, mixing, heating, vacuum filtration, and transferring the extracted sample to the LCMS system autosampler.
Process automation enables users to conduct LCMS analyses around the clock, even on weekends. Operating the system requires no technical know-how, and analysis start-up is straightforward and fast due to ease of use. In addition, the fully automated sample preparation prevents operator errors and ensures reproducible sample results.
With a streamlined workflow that interfaces with LIS, users can easily create and run sample batches with minimal effort. Users can add samples and consumables continuously and have the option to submit priority analysis requests for urgent (STAT) samples without batch disruption.
