Applied Biosystems and Chromsystems to Simplify Mass Spectrometry for Clinical Research

Applied Biosystems and Chromsystems Instruments & Chemicals have announced joint solutions that provide complete, integrated workflows. These workflows simplify mass spectrometry technology for a variety of clinical research applications, such as therapeutic drug monitoring.

The solutions are expected to accelerate the adoption of new tests for medically relevant research, including for vitamin D, amino acids, acylcarnitines, immunosuppressants, antidepressants and neuroleptics.

These types of studies often lead to validated diagnostic tests, which are used in regulated laboratories. By combining Chromsystems’ validated reagent kits, calibrators and controls with AB SCIEX mass spectrometers and software, the new solutions enable clinical researchers to broaden the use of mass spectrometry for their research, providing faster and more comprehensive results than alternative technologies, while ensuring compliance with industry standards.
