Agilent Technologies have introduced the high-throughput RapidFire 400 system, which provides results with cycle times as short as 2 s/sample and adds optional sample cooling for greater sample stability. The system includes barcode reading capabilities for sample tracking, now supports 1536 well plates and allows unattended operation for the analysis of more than 98,000 samples. It is designed to integrate with the Ultivo LC/TQ system, thereby reducing lab space requirements.
