Disclosed is a method for detection of ligand-cell membrane protein binding by solid state NMR spectroscopy. Said process of exchanging diagnostics information is at least partially done by using a communication protocol being based on XML-scripts which include said diagnostics information. The method also desirably includes engaging the inserter with the first and second pins, and advancing the inserter toward the disc space for inserting the intervertebral disc implant into the disc space, whereby the first and second pins align and guide the inserter toward the disc space.
