CLAM-2030 is a fully automated sample preparation module for LCMS. Simply place blood collection tubes in position and the module automatically performs everything from sample pretreatment to LCMS Analysis. This system is widely used for blood concentration measurement from research to clinical laboratory applications, including antibiotics, antifungals, antiviral metabolomics, immunosuppressants, direct oral anti-coagulants (DOAC), dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), steroids, vitamin D, and clinical toxicology. Shimadzu participated in the 2020 TDM (therapeutic drug monitoring) Control Survey for Anti-infective Drugs organized by the Japanese Society of TDM Quality Control. CLAM-2030 differed from these reference values by 0.0 to 2.9 %, indicating Shimadzu’s results were highly accurate.
