Shimadzu CLAM-2030 LCMS-8060 System

The Shimadzu Clinical Laboratory Automated sample preparation Module (CLAM-2030) is a fully automated sample preparation module based on extensive blood coagulation analyser technology. The CLAM-2030 integrates with Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography/Mass Spectrometer (UHPLC-MS) instruments, enabling the CLAM-2030 to sample directly from tubes and blood tubes, perform basic processing steps and then introduce the prepared aliquot to the UHPLC prior to analysis by the ultra-sensitive LCMS-8060 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (LCMS-8060 also functions as a stand-alone instrument). This simplifies the use of high end instrumentation and improves efficiency for the throughput of laboratory samples, as well as reducing the risk of sample error by use of bar coding technology.
