tured via EndoScan-V™, Charles River Laboratories' 21 CFR compliant endotoxin detection software which provides detailed reports. The system can also be linked to Endosafe® Microtrend for data trending and analysis.
“The first MCS™ units are now in customers’ hands and the response has been overwhelmingly positive.
The speed, flexibility, and ease-of-use of the MCS™
system will transform the LAL laboratory. Companies requiring real-time data to release product, move in- process testing forward, and eliminate production delays will find the MCS™ system to be a straightforward solution. We are excited to meet the needs of our cus- tomers with this innovative platform that builds upon the successful technology of the PTS™ system,”
explains Foster Jordan, Corporate Vice President for In Vitro Products at Charles River Laboratories.

technique n’est en mouvement, ce qui assure une sta- bilité du signal incomparable.
Il est compatible avec la lecture des plaques de 6 à 1 536 puits et sa miniaturisation lui confère une grande flexibilité et un aspect compact.
Seul appareil disponible avec une chambre de mesure thermostatée jusqu’à 60 °C, il peut être équipé d’une vanne de gaz afin d’assurer une teneur en CO2 constante.
Les cinétiques sont initiées par un double injecteur à volume programmable pouvant distribuer de 0,5 µL à 500 µL.
Le logiciel de pilotage convivial offre une multitude de possibilités dans le traitement et la présentation des résultats.

Mass Spec Analytical advances forensic science through the development of innovative technology Scientists from Mass Spec Analytical, Bristol, UK, a company specialising in trace analysis for forensic cases, have developed Scentinel®, a mobile, multi-purpose detection system that can rapidly identify compounds at sub-nanogram levels. The system will make it quic- ker and easier for forensic scientists to prove the exis- tence of specific compounds on crime scene samples, providing more reliable evidence for casework studies and helping to solve more crimes.
Scentinel is based on Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX’s highly sensitive tandem mass spectrometer, the API 2000™ system, and has been developed for the detec- tion of trace amounts of drugs of abuse and other sub- stances, including explosives. Simplification of the assays with the front-end ionisation sources and mass spec- trometry systems from Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX has drastically reduced the risk of contamination, which is always a major problem in the analysis of minute amounts of any substance, including drugs of abuse.
To date, Mass Spec Analytical has used the methodo-
logy to provide evidence for more than five thousand forensic cases, detecting tiny amounts of drugs or explo- sives on bank notes, vehicles, packages, clothing and paperwork, for customs, police and other similar agen- cies and, more recently, for analysing tickets and boar- ding passes at airports. Such is the sensitivity of the technology that it can successfully detect even the tiniest residual traces transferred to a boarding pass from the fingers of somebody who has handled explosives. The method is fast, analysing a thousand tickets an hour, and simple, providing instant yes/no results that do not require special expertise or complicated analysis.
Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX is the recognised lea- der worldwide in providing tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) technology ideally suited to trace detection.
MS/MS has become the analytical method of choice in the pharmaceutical and environmental industries and is well established in the field of forensic analysis. Its greatest assets are excellent sensitivity and selectivity and real time analysis without sample preparation.

the Endosafe®-MCS™: a new system for high throughput endotoxin testing Charles River Laboratories Internatio- nal, proudly introduces the Endosafe®- MCS™, a revolutionary endotoxin detection system that utilizes FDA-licen- sed LAL test cartridges and a multi-car- tridge spectrophotometer to provide endotoxin test results for up to 5 samples in 15 minutes.
The system has many advantages over current LAL methods. The disposable cartridges contain all of the components needed to run an assay. The MCS™ rea- der permits fast, quantitative analysis of multiple samples simultaneously. Several MCS™ and portable PTS™ units can be connected to a single PC for high throughput and real-time results. Test results are cap-
