    Abstract: A diagnostic system and method and an interconnected laboratory system comprising clinical diagnostic systems are presented. The diagnostic system comprises a sample preparation module, a liquid chromatography (LC) separation module coupled to the sample preparation module via a sample preparation/LC interface, a mass spectrometer (MS) module coupled to the LC separation module via an LC/MS interface, and a result calculation module for identifying and/or quantifying analytes or substances of interest contained in the samples and passed through the LC separation and MS modules. The diagnostic system comprises a controller programmed to monitor operational parameters (1-n) indicative of a performance status of the diagnostic system, to trigger a quality control procedure and/or a maintenance procedure whenever one or more parameters (1-n) of the operational parameters (1-n) is out of specification, and to minimize the quality control and/or maintenance procedures as long as the operational parameters (1-n) remains within specification.

    Abstract: The present description relates to a method for binding to a target molecule having an aldehyde compound derived from N-(2-aminoethyl)pyrrole, which compound also has a moiety of interest, to compounds (conjugates) obtained by this method, having both the target molecule and the moiety of interest and to novel substances derived from N-(2-aminoethyl)pyrrole. In one embodiment, the compound has the formula of Formula II wherein R1, R2 and R3 independently are H, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted alkenyl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, or substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl, wherein R4, R5, R6, R7 and R8 independently are H, substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroalkyl, substituted or unsubstituted aryl, substituted or unsubstituted heteroaryl, or -LM, wherein L is absent or is a linker and M is a moiety of interest selected from a nucleotide, an oligonucleotide, a peptide, a label, a cytotoxic agent, a partner of a binding pair and a functional group, wherein two of R4, R5, R6, R7, and R8 optionally are linked to form a substituted or unsubstituted cycloalkyl or a substituted or unsubstituted heterocycloalkyl, and T is a target molecule selected from the group consisting of a solid phase, a polypeptide, a protein, a carbohydrate, a nucleotide and a nucleic acid, with the proviso that at least one of R4, R5, R6, R7 or R8 is -LM.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for inferring a condition of at least one analytical device based on at least one automatic notification received over a network from the analytical device is disclosed. The method comprises receiving, at a data processing agent, at least one automatic notification from at least one analytical device, processing, at the data processing agent, the at least one automatic notification, to thus identify one or more characteristics of the at least one automatic notification from the at least one analytical device, inferring, at the data processing agent, the condition of the at least one analytical device, by applying the one or more identified characteristics to a model; and generating, at the data processing agent, a notification reporting the inferred condition of the analytical device.

    Abstract: A system and method for managing information relating to requests for a number of tests to be made of at least one sample within a laboratory environment are disclosed. The system may include a sample reception unit, a pre-analytical unit to scan, sort and/or aliquot the sample on request according to respective test requirements included within a respective sample order, an analytical unit to run at least one test on a sorted and/or aliquoted sample, and at least one decision unit. The decision unit acts as a connecting component for interconnecting the sample reception unit, the pre-analytical unit and the analytical unit as both an intermediary and coordinator such that tests can be performed via a recursive workflow until the sample is completely measured. The decision unit is further configured to collate the test results appropriately with the sample and to give a respective report towards a host component.

    Abstract: A switch for a conveying line for transporting a laboratory diagnostic vessel carrier is presented. The conveying line comprises a first line portion and a second line portion. The switch comprises a curved first guiding surface and a second guiding surface. The switch is moveable between a first position, in which the laboratory diagnostic vessel carrier is transportable along the curved first guiding surface from the first line portion to the second line portion, and a second position, in which the laboratory diagnostic vessel carrier is further transportable along the second guiding surface on the first line portion. A switch assembly and a conveying line are also disclosed.
