The Benefits of Multiplexing
Quadruple MS Throughput
With our multiplexed systems, up to four parallel systems are synchronized to a single MS. Each system operates independently, permitting multiple methods to run simultaneously. This critical feature helps avoid costly downtime associated with traditional single-channel LC systems whose detectors are idle more than 75 percent of the time. With a sophisticated TLX-4 System, your MS remains idle for less than four percent of the time, thereby generating the throughput of four traditional LC/MS systems while maximizing the productivity of one MS. The TLX-2 System offers the productivity of two separate LC systems.
Maintain Data Quality and Sensitivity
With the staggered, parallel operation of each Thermo Scientific multiplexed LC System, the MS is dedicated to each sample stream during the critical elution step. Therefore, sensitivity and data quality are maintained throughout the process.
Leverage Traditional Laminar Flow Methods
When switching over to multiplexed LC systems, there's no need to change your current methods. Both the autosampler and the LC methods are managed from a single controller. This allows you to program methods for push-button initiation of the entire system. No new method development or significant training is required. Simply transfer your existing methods to an LX system and watch your laboratory's output quadruple.
Prevent Sample Loss
The Aria software utilizes Intelligent Sample Processing (ISP). Should one of the parallel systems go down during processing, the others continue to function so that no samples or data are lost.
Upgrade to TurboFlow Technology for More Complex Samples
The LX systems are fully upgradeable to a TLX system with turbulent flow technology for enhanced productivity when assaying complex biological matrices. TLX systems harness the power of our patented TurboFlow technology, a major technological breakthrough that permits direct injection of biological fluids onto the system. As a result, these systems virtually eliminate upfront sample preparation and deliver reliable analysis in a fraction of the time required for traditional methods.
