Thermo Fisher Scientific announced Wednesday that it has launched an automated sample preparation and liquid chromatography system for analyzing dried blood spots.
The Thermo Scientific Transcend DSX-1 integrated system eliminates the disc-punching associated with dried matrix cards and aims to optimize sample extraction and recovery of multiple matrices, including blood, urine, and saliva.
