Experience versatility and accuracy from our LC-MS systems for in vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests and Laboratory Developed Tests (LDTs), which offers clinical diagnostic laboratories a unique choice to address sensitivity needs. Discover mass spectrometry solutions, comprehensive data management, connectivity, and support to help you address any molecule type or matrix complexity with absolute confidence. Our family of LC-MS/MS instruments for in vitro diagnostics deliver greater speed, specificity, and analyte range, along with lower cost per sample.

Benefits of LC-MS for in vitro diagnostic use

Superior specificity, selectivity, sensitivity
Compared to traditional immunoassays, LC-MS enables accurate results, reducing false positives and negatives.

Speed and high throughput capability
Meet analytical needs and budget limitations with the throughput, speed, and sample capacity to boost workflow productivity for laboratory developed tests where analyte resolution is critical.

 

Comprehensive and flexible
Simultaneous detection of multiple analytes in the same run. Flexible options to meet sensitivity and throughput needs.

Cost Savings and increased productivity
Because the fixed cost of tests decreases when more tests are run, ultra-fast selected reaction monitoring enables detection and quantitation of increased number of analytes, without increasing run times.

Why Choose IVD systems?

Maintain compliance
Hardware manufactured following ISO 13485 and FDA 21 CFR 820; dedicated LDT software for clinical workflow and auditing capability.

Stay up-to-date on regulatory trends
Global clinical diagnostics market trending towards LC-MS devices conforming to FDA and EU regulations to perform LDTs and IVDs.

 

Control risk
Intensive validation and verification process, MD certified engineer for service, quality tracking in place to ensure the highest performance of instrument.

Benefit from bidirectional connectivity
A middleware software (B-Link) for bidirectional communication between acquisition/data processing software and the Laboratory Information System (LIS).

LC-MS IVD systems

Our LC-MS platform solutions offer flexibility, facilitate cost savings, and enable you to achieve productivity goals, while ensuring confident IVD results.

Software for IVD LC-MS systems

Software is at the heart of the use and accessibility of our mass spectrometry systems. Thermo Scientific TraceFinder software is included with the purchase of our IVD systems for data acquisition and report generation, while optional B-Link bi-directional software creates a direct link between TraceFinder software and the LIS, eliminating time consuming manual errors.
