Traditional solid phase extraction often creates bottlenecks in clinical research, requiring manual intervention that risks channeling and plugging. By transitioning to Strata-Mag RP, laboratories can shift to fully automated processing without altering their underlying chemistry. This shift allows facilities to standardize sample preparation while mitigating the variability inherent in manual techniques.
Phenomenex Debuts Magnetic Bead Extraction for LC-MS/MS Automation
Clinical research laboratories facing mounting pressure to increase testing capacity now have a new route to automation. Phenomenex, a Danaher company, has launched Strata-Mag RP, a magnetic bead-based extraction technology engineered to replace labor-intensive solid phase extraction methods with streamlined, high-throughput workflows for LC-MS/MS analysis.
Eric Lavold, Vice President of Product Management and Strategy at Phenomenex, noted that the technology targets the industry's need for faster turnaround times and higher throughput. The goal is to provide researchers with a consistent extraction performance that supports reliable, data-driven decisions. The system is currently available for research use, marking a push by the Torrance-based company to integrate magnetic bead solutions into modern diagnostic and clinical research environments.
