European Patent Granted for Automatic Column Switching System (EP3922990)

MS Ekspert (Masdiag's parent company) receives a European Patent Office grant for an automatic column switching system with disposable chromatographic columns for high-performance liquid chromatography.

European Patent Granted

We are thrilled to announce that our innovative solution has been granted a European Patent (EP3922990) by the European Patent Office, dated 8 May 2024.

The patented Automatic Column Switching System, together with disposable columns, is a groundbreaking innovation designed to revolutionise medical diagnostics by optimising the use of LC/MS technologies.

What It Means

This solution significantly enhances efficiency and reliability, opening new doors for high-throughput and precise diagnostics. It has the potential to reshape how we approach medical diagnostics and deliver better outcomes for patients worldwide.

The system addresses a fundamental bottleneck in LC-MS/MS workflows: column contamination and degradation. By enabling automatic switching between disposable chromatographic columns, the system maintains analytical performance across large sample batches without manual intervention.

Commercialisation

We are currently seeking partners interested in commercialising this technology and bringing it to market. If you are in the field of medical diagnostics, biotechnology, or related industries and want to explore collaboration opportunities, we welcome the conversation.
