CLAM-2040 Sample Preparation Module for LCMS

Description

Shimadzu's CLAM-2040 is an automated module for preparing samples prior to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis. It is designed to handle biological and chemical samples by performing a series of processing steps. These automated tasks include pipetting, dilution, vortex mixing, heating, and vacuum filtration to remove proteins. The prepared sample is then transferred to an autosampler for injection. This automation seeks to standardize manual procedures, potentially increasing throughput and improving reproducibility by minimizing human error. The module supports parallel processing and stat sample workflows. It includes software for method setup, barcode sample tracking, and data review, facilitating its use in clinical and research laboratory settings.
