NEW YORK (360Dx) – Sciex announced the launch today of its Topaz LC-MS system, as the company takes aim at the clinical mass spectrometry market.
Based on Sciex's existing 4500MD LC-MS system, the platform is a simplified and streamlined instrument targeting hospital labs and other facilities that are interested in using mass spec for clinical assays but that don't necessarily have the resources and expertise the technology has traditionally required.
