Inline Automated Magnetic Bead Mass Spec Sample Preparation

Magnetic bead-based sample prep offers great selectivity for isolating analytes in complex matrices and allows diverse chemistries for wide-ranging applications, but it’s often a manual process that leaves room for error:

  • Manual workflows require a lot of pipetting of small volumes, which affects reproducibility and adds numerous hours of manual work.
  • Hard to manage and handle magnetic beads in a solution/suspension, which affects performance and yield.

Solution: Eliminate these pain points with IDEX Health & Science’s new inline automated magnetic bead-based sample preparation workflow for LC-MS (Liquid Chromatography / Mass Spectrometry) that is compact, self-contained, hands-off, and improves separation performance. This capability can be integrated into OEM platforms to enable complete walkaway operations previously only achievable using high-end robotics.
