CLAM-2000 Fully Automated Sample Preparation Module for LCMS and LCMS-8050 Ultra FastLiquid Chromatograph Mass Spectrometer
Shimadzu has released the world’s first system for fully automated sample preparation connected online for LC-MS.Shimadzu’s CLAM-2000*(Clinical Laboratory Automated sample preparation Module) is the world’s first system for fully automated sample preparation connected online for LC-MS. The system automates the pretreatment of blood or other biological samples before LC-MS analysis. It is designed for customers handling blood samples in pharmaceutical departments, medical departments or biological analysis laboratories dealing with issues of variability in analytical results or infection risk. It is compatible with the LC-MS TQ systems LCMS-8040, LCMS-8045, LCMS-8050 and LCMS-8060, giving a large choice to adapt to sensitivity needs.

Diving Deep into Carrier-Based Formulation and Process Optimization
December 23rd 2024Carrier-based formulations for dry powder inhalers are carefully designed to transport extremely small particles into the lungs. Jet milling can be used to micronize these particles, with both high and low shear mixing processes used to formulate mixtures capable of carrying the fine API particles into the deep lung. This paper looks at the requirements for pulmonary delivery via carrier-based inhaled powder formulations, and how jet milling can be used to manufacture effective and stable materials for these formulations
