Evaluation of the ARK High Sensitivity Benzodiazepine II Assay
Sensitive and specific immunoassay screening methods for the detection of benzodiazepines in urine are an important prerequisite for routine analysis in clinical and forensic toxicology. Moreover, emerging designer benzodiazepines require labs to keep their methodologies updated and evaluate the reliability of their immunochemical techniques.
The University of Pavia evaluated the sensitivity and specificity of two different immunoassay methods, including the new ARK High Sensitivity Benzodiazepine II assay, for the detection of benzodiazepines in urine. Learn about the study protocol and results obtained by a newly developed liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) procedure used to test a cohort of authentic urine samples (n = 501).

New Drug-testing Approach in a High-volume Toxicology Lab with Atellica® Integrated Automation
The Azienda USL’s Clinical Toxicology and Antidoping Laboratory performs 500,000 toxicological test per year for addiction treatment centers, hospital wards, driving license commissions, and private companies. Routine analysis requires that staff follow complex, specific protocols for screening and confirmation analysis on several sample matrices.
Having recently transitioned from a StreamLAB® Automation Solution with two connected Dimension® RxL Max® Systems to two mirrored Atellica Solution systems with integrated automation, the team conducted workflow studies to determine TAT time and labor savings with the new Atellica Solution systems. Learn the details of how TAT and hands-on time were reduced, and hear how the team feels that safety was improved.
