药物和法医分析涉及生物样本，通常是具 有挑战性的复杂基质。PAL系统为活性药物 成分、非法药物、有毒化合物的自动化分 析以及残留物分析提供了行之有效的工作 流程。
活性药品中的亚硝胺备受关注。采用液液体 萃取的PAL System上的全自动样品制备包括涡 流、离心和蒸发，用于直接进样到LCHRMS。
USP 467标准方法控制药品中残留溶剂是制 药行业中最常用的顶空方法。PAL System可 提供高精度的样品制备，用于气相色谱-质 谱联用的顶空分析。
为了在法医实验室分析非法药物，通常要 在PAL System上对尿液或头发样本进行自 动样本制备。干血点分析（DBS）在 PALSystem上完全自动化。此外，微型 SPE（uSPE）也可用于分析血清样本中的 精神活性物质、非法药物控制或TDU疼痛 管理。

ASMS 2025 - From Sample to Species - Automated MALDI-TOF MS Workflows for Streamlined Bacterial Identification
Rapid and accurate bacterial identification is crucial in fields such as clinical diagnostics and food safety, yet traditional methods are often slow. MALDI-TOF MS offers apowerful alternative, but sample preparation is a bottleneck. We propose an automated workflow using a robotic platform to streamline this process. This automated MALDI-TOF MS workflow enhances bacterial identification by reducing manual steps and improvingstandardization across applications.
ASMS 2025 - Streamlined Analysis of Polar and Non-Polar Metabolites in Plasma Using Automated Micro-SPE LC/MS
This poster presents two use cases for streamlined lipid profiling in plasma using automated Micro Solid Phase Extraction (μSPE). Where the workflows on NIST (SRM 1950) plasma samples was tested, with spiked internal standard (Ultimate SPLASH ONE) and optimized the extraction and elution parameters. Briefly, it focused on two cartridge sorbent types Mixed-Mode Cation Exchange (MCX) and C18 (CEC) and showcased their usage.
Automated Parallel Derivatization of Metabolites
For metabolite profiling chemical derivatization has been used to improve MS sensitivity and LC retention. However, for multi-analytes quantification, the number of available isotopically labelled internal standards is limited. And, there is no single workflow which can provide large-scale metabolomics coverage in particular for polar metabolites.
