Liquid autosampler DBS

automaticfor the pharmaceutical industry

Dried blood spot sampling via FTD™ - a revolution for clinical and pharmaceutical sample processing The Dried Blood Spot Sampler (DBS) is a young technique for bioanalytics, especially valuable for clinical and pharmaceutical laboratories. The technique offers simple sampling, easy transport and trouble-free storage of blood samples. The revolutionary DBS sampler maintains the integrity of the sample with full automation and offers time and cost savings. The innovative-patented Flow-through desorption technology FTD™ allows direct elution from the DBS cards. It provides consistent quality and allows clean-up and separation of analytes by SPE prior to analysis. The complete workflow can be automated in minutes, maximum sensitivity is achieved and manual steps are eliminated. Due to a perfect integration into the powerful software platform CHRONOS it is possible to use the DBS online as well as offline. This is a unique feature of the DBS in combination with CHRONOS by Axel Semrau. SparkLink™ is not required. CHRONOS increases the flexibility of the user. Eluates can be transferred to different analysis systems after desorption. unique and patented FTD™ technology for sample preparation different clamps for 2, 4, 6 or 8 mm spot sizes available intelligent camera with image analysis software offers accurate spot detection and positioning Identification via 1D or 2D barcode Storage, monitoring and tracking of samples Maps Information memory Automatic internal standard addition by loop injection with HPD (high pressure dispenser) and integrated mini pump during desorption of the Blood Spot, best precision and accuracy
