Transcend LX and TLX Systems
Manufacturer – Thermo Fisher Scientific
Description: Thermo Scientific™ Transcend™ Turbo Flow™ Systems integrate online sample preparation with multichannel UHPLC for direct injection of complex matrices into LC-MS. They reduce manual steps, improve data quality, and significantly increase throughput by maximizing mass spectrometer utilization.
Technical Specifications:
Maximum pressure: up to 1000 bar
Flow range: 0 – 8 mL/min
pH compatibility: 2 – 12; chloride concentration up to 1 mol/L
Sample injection volume: 0.01 – 100 µL (standard), up to 10,000 µL (optional)
System design: modular and biocompatible
Multichannel capability: two- or four-channel LC paths feeding a single MS (up to ~400% throughput)
Software control: fully automated operation and scheduling via Aria MX software
Key Features:
• Automated Turbo Flow technology for online sample cleanup—eliminates or minimizes manual preparation.
• Enables direct injection of complex matrices (plasma, urine, food, environmental samples) into LC-MS.
• Multichannel LC architecture boosts throughput without additional mass spectrometers.
• Reduced cost per sample and higher MS utilization by minimizing instrument idle time.
• Simplified method development and transfer across different matrices.
• Flexible, scalable configuration supporting large plate capacity, sample cooling, and wide injection volumes.
Applications: Used in clinical research, food safety, environmental analysis, forensic toxicology, and pharmaceutical workflows requiring automated high-throughput LC-MS of complex samples.
