Shimadzu at MSACL 2026
Join Shimadzu at MSACL 2026, taking place October 4–9, 2026, in Montréal, Canada. This event brings together clinical researchers, laboratory professionals, scientists, and industry experts from around the world to explore the latest developments in mass spectrometry and the clinical laboratory. The analytical demands in the clinical laboratory continue to evolve. From expanding testing capabilities, improving workflow efficiencies, to accommodating increased sample volumes, Shimadzu has solutions engineered to effectively support the clinical researcher.
This year, Shimadzu will feature innovative laboratory automation and analytical solutions, including the CLAM-2040 for automated sample preparation and LCMS analysis, ready-to-deploy RECIPE reagent kits, and our most advanced LCMS-TQ mass spectrometers, the RX Series. Visit us at booth #17/18 to explore how integrated automation, flexible assay menus, and fast and robust LC-MS/MS technologies can improve your laboratory productivity. Thinking of implementing routine or esoteric assays for your clinical research? Discover how Shimadzu is helping clinical research laboratories take the next leap toward more efficient, scalable, and reliable workflows through the power of automation.

Beyond the Assay Menu: Exploring Open, Flexible Automation and Multiplexing for Current and Future LC-MS/MS Assay Development Needs
Tuesday, October 6, 12:30-1:45pm, Montréal 5
Automating Therapeutic Drug Monitoring on the Open Architecture CLAM-2040 Platform
William Clarke, PhD, MBA, DABCC
Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine
Dr. Clarke will provide an overview of challenges that accompany use of mass spectrometry in a hospital, the importance of automation in the process, and the importance of flexibility when evaluating opportunities for laboratory developed tests (LDTs). He will then provide an overview of the CLAM technology and how it can address some of the challenges in the field, as well as describe the experience in his lab with the technology. Last, Dr. Clarke will share data from validation of a commercial kit for tricyclic antidepressants.
Engineering the Future of Clinical Laboratory Science: Innovative Technology for Impactful Solutions
Nigel Clarke, PhD
Dr. Clarke will explore how innovative laboratory technologies are shaping the future of clinical research and analytical testing. His presentation will touch on the diverse needs of clinical laboratories, from steady, robust applications to highly demanding esoteric assays. Throughout this discussion, Dr. Clarke will highlight how Shimadzu’s unique technology, such as the CLAM-2040 and the Nexera QX Multiplexing module are working to provide flexible, reliable, and automated solutions for the modern clinical laboratory.
