How Labor Dr. Quade automates ICP-MS sample preparation with clinPAL

Labor Quade is a medical laboratory based in Cologne, Germany, primarily serving outpatient healthcare facilities with comprehensive laboratory services. Privately managed by physicians for 50 years, the laboratory combines a broad range of diagnostic testing with personalized support and flexible services. Accredited by DAkkS and certified by CAP/CLIA, Labor Quade is committed to high quality standards and also serves as a partner laboratory for international companies, helping ensure the safety of blood products.
Together with Analytik Jena, Labor Dr. Quade is evaluating the clinPAL platform for the automated preparation of serum samples in trace element analysis. Designed to automate complex and time-consuming sample preparation workflows, the system helps standardize processes, improve reproducibility, and free highly qualified laboratory personnel for higher-value tasks.

“clinPAL saves our team valuable time.”

“Since we had already had positive experiences with Analytik Jena in the past, we wanted to give clinPAL a try. Today, clinPAL automatically handles many of the steps that previously had to be performed manually, especially when processing serum samples. Our employees save a significant amount of time with clinPAL, allowing them to focus on more demanding tasks.”
