All sample processing, from introduction, separation and concentration of target compounds, desalting and solvent replacement, to transfer to the LC-MS, has been completely automated.
Co-Sense for LC-MS
Liquid Chromatograph with online Sample Preparation

In LC-MS, there are various factors which may preclude the applicability of HPLC with MS analysis, including the interference associated with non-volatile buffers often used in HPLC. Therefore, tedious procedures are adopted, in which separation and collection is conducted by HPLC, and after desalting and other processing, MS measurement is performed.
Co-Sense for LC-MS automates the entire process of separating and purifying the target compounds from the sample, including the processes of purifying, concentrating and desalting. This eliminates the need to select HPLC mobile phases to accommodate subsequent measurement using LC-MS.
