AB Sciex has launched its CE marked IVD-MS analyser for use in hospitals and diagnostic laboratories in Europe.
The IVD-MS analyser is designed to provide a combination of the high sensitivity and selectivity of mass spectrometry (MS) technology and the molecular separation power of liquid chromatography (LC) with a technician-friendly, intuitive interface.
The ClearCore MD software provides streamlined data processing, reporting and review functionality. The company claims this will help make the adoption of LC/MS/MS for routine analysis significantly easier.
The ClearCore software enables quantitation and data exploration without the need for additional software packages.
It provides simple method development tools with separate LC and MS method editors and also provides customisable access to modules based on user security levels, including routine users, method developers, data reviewers and administrators, so staff members are only able to access approved modules.
The intended use of the analyser device is to identify inorganic or organic compounds in human specimens for clinical use, providing routine diagnostic testing laboratories in certain countries in Europe with the ability to quantitate multiple trace level compounds in a single analysis with high confidence in the results.
