INTEGRA and DPX Labs LLC have produced an application note describing a novel high throughput semi-automated sample method for processing urine samples ready for drugs of abuse analysis by LC-MS/MS.
Sample preparation is required to remove matrix interferences from urine samples prior to LC-MS/MS analysis.
This procedure is typically very time-consuming and is generally the “bottleneck” for laboratory analysis.
INTEGRA says that by using the VIAFLO 96 electronic pipette with DPX mixed mode tips, a single 96-well plate loaded with samples can be extracted and ready for LC-MS/MS analysis in less than ten minutes, eliminating the need for a time-consuming evaporation step.
