Clinical Analysis

Clinical

Pharmaceutical and forensic analysis deal with biological samples, typically with challenging, complex matrices. PAL Systems deliver proven workflows for the automated analysis of the active pharmaceutical ingredients, illicit drugs, toxic compounds, and also residue analysis.

Nitrosamines in active pharmaceutical products are of high concern. The fully automated sample preparation on the PAL System with liquid/liquid injection (LLE) comprises vortexing, centrifugation and evaporation for a direct injection into LC-HRMS.

The control of residual solvents in drug products applying USP 467 standard method is the most used headspace method in pharmaceutical industry. The PAL System delivers highly precise sample preparation for headspace analysis with GC/MS.

For the analysis of illicit drugs in forensic labs often urine or hair samples are subjected to automated sample preparation on the PAL System. The dried blood spot analysis (DBS) is perfectly automated on the PAL System. Also the micro-SPE (uSPE) finds application e.g. for the analysis of psychoactive substances from serum samples, illicit drug control or TDU pain management.
