Experience the benefits of automated sample handling, unambiguous specimen authentication, with compliance and chain of custody for a dried spot analysis workflow.

The integrated Transcend DSX-1 system eliminates disc punching and optimizes sample extraction and recovery from multiple matrices (e.g.: blood, urine, serum, saliva), to completely redefine the traditional, labor-intensive dried matrix spot analysis workflow, typically used in toxicology and anti-doping laboratories that perform routine analysis of drugs and other compounds.

Unique flow-through desorption (FTD™), intelligent image analysis, and instrument control software capabilities simplify operational set-up and provide users with an automated, connected platform for troublefree dried spot sample handling. The Transcend DSX-1 system includes:

Handling convenience with Dried Spot Cards:

• Sample traceability and chain of custody
• AISA™Automated reagent loop

FTD™ Flow-through desorption with HotCap™ heated capillary

• Eliminate the manual, labor-intensive extraction procedure
• Direct elution of dried matrix spot from cards
• Efficient, optimized sample extraction that’s automated

IVC™ (Intelligent Vision Camera)

• Accurate spot/circle recognition
• Sample traceability and chain of custody

AISA™ Automated reagent loop

• Reagent loop provides internal standard addition prior to extraction thereby minimizing matrix interferences

Aria MX control software

• Software control fully integrates the DSX-1 and SPE
• Single vendor solution

TurboFlow technology

• Reduced sample preparation time
• Improved MS detection
• Enhanced analyte sensitivity and selectivity
