Thermo Fisher Scientific Lists Four-Channel HPLC as Class I Medical Device

Thermo Fisher Scientific has announced that the Thermo Scientific Prelude LX-4 MD HPLC has been listed as an FDA Class I medical device for general clinical use. The device features four parallel channels which can deliver up to four different separations to a single mass spectrometer to enhance sample throughput. The channels can run identical or different methods simultaneously.

“We’re strongly committed to bringing the advantages of LC-MS to the clinical market, and this product is part of a larger initiative to make mass spectrometry more useful and accessible to the clinician,” said Dan Shine, president of chromatography and mass spectrometry for Thermo Fisher Scientific.
