Intelligent sequencing software maximises productivity and profitability for high throughput laboratories where accelerated turnaround time and minimum cost per sample are vital
Thermo Electron announces the availability of a new application for its ToxLab 2.0 intelligent sequencing software.
The application demonstrates the benefits of using the software for analysis of urine samples in drug testing and toxicology laboratories.
The applications are said to maximise productivity and profitability for today's high throughput laboratories where accelerated turn-around time and minimum cost per sample are vital for achieving critical productivity goals.
Significant annual savings can result from the use of ToxLab 2.0 for sample acquisition and analysis.
The application was highlighted at the 35th Society of Forensic Toxicologists (Soft) annual meeting in Nashville, Tennessee, USA.
This application is the latest addition to Thermo's extensive range of application notes designed to demonstrate the ability of its GC/MS solutions to effectively and efficiently analyse toxicological samples.
By combining the applications with its GC/MS capabilities plus real-time decision making software, Thermo says it is now able to offer its customers a complete system for toxicological analyses.
ToxLab 2.0 makes real-time decisions based on the programmed method and is able to automatically troubleshoot and resolve common issues that arise, such as the need to re-inject a blank.
The savings in time and money result from the elimination of wasted time, resources, and labour, and savings increase proportionately as the number of analysed samples increases.
An additional application presented by Thermo features the real-world analysis of oral fluid samples in a high-throughput drug testing laboratory.
The application is favourable to drug testing laboratories due to the use of oral fluid, as opposed to urine, as the sample matrix which provides more protection of subject privacy and is easily attainable.
