Jan 24, 2017 | Biopharma, Blogs | 0 comments

Have you ever wished for a compact instrument that delivers expert-level answers to your most complex biotherapeutic characterization challenges faster and easier than what you are doing now? At SCIEX, we recognize that even expert users want easier ways to perform daily characterization tasks and get great results every time. That’s why we set out to develop the X500B QTOF system: a robust and reliable new instrument and software solution that reduces complexity and simplifies biologics characterization workflows so every scientist can get expert-level results.Download Info Pack >

Flexible and Robust: The X500B QTOF Makes Standard Characterization Workflows a Breeze

The new X500B QTOF system is the first true benchtop,  high-resolution mass spectrometer designed specifically for characterization of complex biologics, delivering high-quality data for intact mass and peptide mapping analyses–including post-translational modification identification–and characterization of antibody-drug conjugates. The system utilizes the renowned SCIEX Turbo V™ ionization source and a heated TOF path for maximum robustness and reproducibility.  Add to that the new SCIEX OS Operating System and BioPharmaView™ data processing software, which are surprisingly easy to learn and operate. 

The new X500B system enables you to:

  • Automate standardized methods and data analysis tasks, making daily biotherapeutic characterization accessible to any scientist
  • Spend more time focusing on meeting your deadlines, with powerful data analysis tools to visualize and compare results across biotherapeutic samples
  • Maximize productivity and minimize downtime for training and maintenance in your lab

As a part of the SCIEX 360º Innovation for Biologics Characterization strategy, the X500B QTOF system is designed to help you get better answers, faster. For standard biologics characterization workflows, the compact X500B system is the next “big” thing to improve your lab’s productivity and throughput.

Why SCIEX partners with experts around the world

Innovation in mass spectrometry does not happen in isolation. Some of the most impactful scientific advances emerge from highly specialized research communities – proteomics experts developing new peptide identification workflows, metabolomics researchers curating spectral databases, toxicologists building compound libraries, and biopharma scientists creating novel characterization methods.

Managing ADC characterization: The challenge of turning complexity into confidence

Unlike traditional monoclonal antibodies, ADCs combine an antibody backbone with linker chemistry and a cytotoxic payload. This multi-component architecture introduces overlapping layers of heterogeneity, including drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) distributions, charge variants, post-translational modifications, and structural changes at both the intact and subunit levels. Across ADC development, these characteristics are considered critical quality attributes that must be characterized, understood, and monitored.

3 reasons ZT Scan DIA is changing the game in metabolomics

For years, metabolomics researchers have faced a frustrating reality: modern high-resolution mass spectrometers can detect tens of thousands of molecular features, yet only a fraction can be confidently identified. The challenge is no longer finding molecules. It is generating the high-quality MS/MS data needed to confidently assign structures and extract meaningful biological insights.
