Discover the New X500B QTOF System, the Simpler, Faster Path to Biologics Characterization Answers

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.

Is “right first time, every time” a pipedream for metabolite identification by LC-MS?

If we lived in an ideal world, it would be possible to unambiguously identify metabolites using a single analytical experiment. This analytical technique would need to be efficient and easily generate the information needed from a routine assay that is also robust, enabling confident decision-making during drug discovery.

Supporting new CRISPR gene editing systems

Prime editing (PE) is a next-generation gene editing technology that utilizes a Cas9 protein fused to a prime editing guide ribonucleic acid (pegRNA) to achieve high CRISPR/Cas9 editing efficiency and precision. However, the length requirement of pegRNAs at 120–250 nucleotides (nt) and their high level of secondary structure formation present analytical challenges for the purity analysis of chemically synthesized pegRNAs during development and quality control (QC).

A new approach for comprehensive AAV evaluation including full and empty analysis

Certain next-gen vaccines and gene therapy applications rely on the usage of adeno-associated viruses (AAV) as a delivery vehicle. To ensure the safety and efficacy of viral vector drugs, multiple critical quality attributes (CQAs) need to be well characterized.
