Walk-away 25-OH vitamin D2/D3 UHPLC analyser
Zivak Technologies supplies ready to use LC-MS/MS and HPLC analysis kits with its own fully automated sample preparation and injection system which enables laboratories to make efficient use of their LC-MS/MS as well as HPLC instruments. Many scientific studies and papers show the inaccuracy of measuring total vitamin D with commercial immunoassays without separating and measuring vitamin D2 and vitamin D3 metabolites individually. HPLC and LC-MS/ MS methods are accepted as the Gold standard for separate analysis of 25-OH metabolites of vitamin D. Usage of these chromatographic methods is increasing significantly in clinical laboratories in recent years. Many of these laboratories cannot use their systems effectively due to the fact that these systems require qualified staff, complex sample preparation steps, high kit prices/ operation costs and do not allow walk-away operation. The VD-200 was especially designed for routine vitamin D2/D3 testing clinical labs. VD-200 enables to analyse vitamin D2/ D3 samples fully automatically – without any human intervention – from primer sample tube. The company offers higher sensitivity than entry level LC- MS/MS thanks to the newly designed Special D detector. This system is fully validated with the Zivak vitamin D2/D3 UHPLC analysis kit which includes all necessary reagents, calibrator and controls. It offers a complete solution to clinical laboratories performing routine vitamin D2/ D3 assays on HPLC-UV and LC-MS/MS systems. As they have a large number of vitamin D2/D3 samples, they cannot run all the other LC-MS/MS specific analyses on their LC-MS/MS systems effectively. The VD-200 has been designed especially for this kind of laboratory, providing a cost-effective and fully automated system that frees expensive LC-MS/MS systems for specific tests which have to be run on LC-MS/MS systems. The innovative design of the VD-200 enables barcode reading, reagent adding, vortex mixing, centrifuge and injection processes to be done by robotic arms. The system provides 240 accurate results in 12 hours fully automatically.
