Tracefinder 1.1 software enables clinical research

The software retains all of the capabilities of its predecessor and has been expanded to include complete integration with the Thermo Scientific Transcend system.

It is also compatible with all Thermo Scientific quantitative mass-spectrometry platforms, including the Thermo Scientific Exactive and LTQ range of systems.

The software can be seen at the Hyatt Regency in Centennial Ballroom D during the 59th Annual ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics, from 5-9 June in Denver.

The Tracefinder software is designed to make routine LC-MS quantitation and targeted analysis simple, fast and productive.

The software offers a four-step, workflow-driven method setup and fully automated data acquisition, data processing and reporting.

It includes an extensive choice of preconfigured methods and more than 50 report templates, as well as compound data stores for selected reaction monitoring (SRM) experiments in environmental testing, food-safety residue analysis, clinical research and forensic toxicology applications.

Data review is easy with the ability to specify and report multiple flags.

To protect the integrity of analytical data, the software includes a rights-based secure user login system.

The Transcend system combines the power of automated online sample preparation and multiplexing to increase throughput without compromising data quality or sensitivity.

The unique multiplexing technology of the Transcend system brings the productivity of up to four separate, parallel LC systems to a single mass spectrometer, enabling clinical research, forensic toxicology, food testing and environmental laboratories to achieve a four-fold increase in sample throughput.

Thermo Scientific Turboflow Technology automates sample preparation and can reduce the time spent on this task by up to 95 per cent.
