headline: Integration of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry into total laboratory automation: technical challenges and clinical advantages
dek: The clinical laboratory is undergoing a paradigm shift toward the integration of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry(MS) into Total Laboratory Automation workflows. While historically relegated to specialized satellite units due to manual pre-analytical requirements, recent technological advancements have enabled the development of fully automated, 'sample-to-result' MS modules. This review provides an authoritative analysis of the technical integration of systems such as the Roche cobas® i 601 and Sh…

quick_read: Published October 2026, this review examines integration of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry into Total Laboratory Automation, highlighting fully automated sample-to-result modules such as Roche cobas i 601 and Shimadzu CLAM-2040 and the role of intelligent middleware and AI-assisted algorithms for data validation and monitoring.

The integration matters because it moves MS from low-throughput specialty testing to continuous high-throughput routine use, with claimed impact on diagnostic accuracy for low-concentration analytes in endocrinology and therapeutic drug monitoring, though the abstract does not report measured patient outcomes or comparative performance data.
