For many years HPLC and Mass Spectrometry have been considered to be powerful technologies, but complicated to integrate in a clinical environment. Today that is no longer true. Innovative HPLC, user-friendly mass spectrometer and software, along with dedicated reagents are now enabling laboratories to solve challenging analytical problems more efficiently that have been impossible to resolve with conventional techniques such as immunoassay.

Waters has developed the MassTrak™ range of integrated system solutions to meet the needs of clinical laboratories, transplant hospitals and reference laboratories. Today we offer complete solutions, reliable results and unparalleled support in the following clinical fields:

Therapeutic Drug Monitoring

Waters, the leading clinical LC/MS company, has recently launched the first MassTrak Immunosuppressants Kit for the quantification of Tacrolimus, designed especially for diagnostic laboratories.

Metabolic Disease

Waters is introducing its MassTrak Amino Acid Analysis Solution for the analysis of amino acids in urine and plasma for research use. The Waters MassTrak AAA Solution is the first UltraPerformance LC^® (UPLC) system to combine Waters ACQUITY UPLC^® technology with Waters patented AccQTag™ derivatization chemistry for performing amino acid analysis on urine and plasma samples.

Endocrinology

Waters has developed a wide range of applications designed to solve challenging analytical problems in clinical research laboratories. All the assays described in this section are carried out in routine clinical research laboratories by either immunoassays, LC or GC/MS but suffer from some limitations, either cross reactivity or sensitivity, or cost. Such assays include Vitamin D, Cortisol and Plasma Metanephrines.

Toxicology

LC/MS methods are now increasingly utilized in toxicology laboratories for drug screening and confirmation. Although sensitivity and specificity are still critical requirements for toxicology laboratories, the ability to consistently deliver fast and comprehensive results often makes a difference. Check out our portfolio of validated applications, supported by our latest UPLC/MS/MS and UPLC/TOF system configurations.
