Automated Assays
With MassSTAR, we offer a robotic walkaway solution with CE-IVD validated workflows, full traceability and a graphical user interface for simple instrument handling. Various assays for both, clinical LC-MS/MS and HPLC are also available for automation on specific liquid handlers.
Assays available for Automation
MassSTAR - walkaway solution for automating clinical LC-MS/MS sample preparation
- CE-IVD validated workflows
- Walkaway solution with standardised hardware and software
- Full traceability and regulatory compliance
- Graphical User Interface (GUI) for simple instrument handling
MassSTAR is a CE-validated full walkaway solution specifically designed for automating clinical LC-MS/MS sample preparation with Chromsystems assays. The assays offer in combination with MassSTAR a standardised CE-IVD-conforming workflow for clinical laboratories soon also in line with IVDR. The solution has been developed with clinical laboratories in mind, offering user comfort, regulatory conformity and flexibility.
MassSTAR can be employed with more than 100 parameters of MassTox® TDM Series A, immunosuppressants and vitamin D.

Method comparison
Our automated assays are comprehensively tested. Method comparison between manual and automated sample preparation for LC-MS/MS and HPLC demonstrate a very high correlation of data. In essence: same results, lower risk of pipetting errors, increased throughput and reduced costs.
