CRO

In a world where productivity means higher throughput, all laboratories would like to work with a technology providing an analysis 10 to 100 times faster than their current LC-MS/MS system.  Drug quantification in plasma sample can be as fast as 4 seconds per sample without compromising your accuracy.

• _{Note : The results published into the Analytical Chemistry (2007) paper were obtained with a beta-LDTD ion source. Therefore, the laser power reported should not be used with the current LDTD ion source models. Moreover, Phytronix has observed that for more accurate CYP 1A2 results, the probe should be monitor in negative mode. Please refer to the application note 0714 (below) for updated operation conditions.}
