On September 17, 2025, at 13:00 BST / 14:00 CEST / 08:00 EDT / 05:00 PDT, processing an increasing volume of blood samples in clinical laboratories presents ongoing challenges for staff, workflows, and equipment. The demand for accurate, high-throughput results with minimal turnaround time intensifies the need for efficient solutions in the clinical testing environment.
Traditional LC-MS/MS (Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry) workflows are commonly used to analyze blood samples due to their high sensitivity and specificity. However, these workflows typically require skilled personnel, manual sample preparation, and extensive data processing, which can be time-consuming and hinder operational efficiency.
Automation in Clinical Laboratories
This upcoming webinar will explore how automation can alleviate these bottlenecks. Dr. Frank Streit from the University Medical Center Göttingen will present insights on the Clinical Laboratory Automated Module (CLAM), detailing its capacity to enhance processes from barcode scanning and Laboratory Information System (LIS)-driven test selection, to sample preparation, analysis, and result reporting.
Key Learning Objectives
- Understand how the CLAM-2040 facilitates full automation of LC-MS/MS workflows, covering all stages from barcode scanning to result reporting.
- Learn about the integration of the CLAM-2040 with LIS systems through HL7 interfaces, enabling seamless data exchange and management of test requests.
- Recognize the benefits of 24/7 unattended operation, which supports high-throughput clinical testing environments.
- Discover how non-expert technicians can efficiently perform complex LC-MS/MS analyses without needing specialized training in mass spectrometry or chromatography.
Who Should Attend?
This webinar is designed for clinical laboratory professionals involved in diagnostic testing, including lab managers, medical technologists, and clinical scientists who aim to enhance LC-MS/MS workflows and increase laboratory throughput. Healthcare decision-makers, such as pathologists, clinical chemists, and laboratory directors, will also find value in exploring automated, scalable mass spectrometry solutions.
