Transform the Analytical Power of Your SCIEX Mass Spec with SelexION Technology

Oct 11, 2017 | Blogs, Technology | 0 comments

If you are working with complex assays that demand exceptionally selective quantitative and qualitative performance, sometimes even the most powerful LC-MS/MS technology can’t always cut it alone.

Perhaps you are struggling to separate isobaric species, isolate challenging co-eluting analytes or reduce high background noise? Regardless of your challenge, the outcome is the same. You probably aren’t getting the levels of quantitation or characterization you need, so method development has become cumbersome, and workflow performance is suffering.

Now you can bring a new dimension of selectivity to your LC-MS/MS analysis on select SCIEX Triple Quad™, QTRAP® and TripleTOF® Systems with SelexION® Differential Mobility Separation (DMS) Technology. The SelexION DMS cell:

  • Small, easily interchangeable device that can be installed without tools in less than 2 minutes
  • Increase peak separation power, with added enhancements from the use of chemical modifiers
  • Meet analytical standards for quantitative reproducibility and robustness
  • Match cycle and run times with multi-component analysis and UHPLC timescales
  • On-demand operation can be turned off and on as needed without removing hardware

Harness the power of differential mobility separations to simplify your sample preparations, while achieving unprecedented levels of selectivity. Find out more by downloading the SelexION brochure.

How does it work?
Gas phase differential mobility separation within the SelexION device planar mobility cell is based on the ion’s size and shape, and the difference between their unique differential mobilities across high and low energy fields. Gas phase separation occurs prior to entering the mass analyzer where the compounds are then further separated by m/z ratios.

Overcoming uncertainty in your PFAS analysis

Just like gum on the bottom of a shoe, the existence of per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) in our environment is a sticky one. If you’re in the field of environmental testing, then you’re all too familiar with the threat these substances have on public health. While we have learned a lot about them over the years, there is still much more to understand. With the right detection methods, we can gather the information we need to empower us to make informed decisions on reducing the risks they impose.

6 Signs it’s time for a new vendor

A lab’s success depends on many factors from instrument quality to efficient operations, including being partnered with the right vendor. A vendor is more than just a supplier. They should provide you with a high-level quality of support in maximizing the lifespan and performance of your systems, reducing downtime, enhancing ROI and more. How do you know if you’re partnered with the right one? Here are six signs it might be time to find someone new.

Plasmid manufacturing: Setting up your CGT programs for success

Plasmid DNA serves a variety of purposes, from critical starting material for proteins, mRNA, viral vectors, and drug substances. Below, Dr. Emma Bjorgum, the Vice President of Client Services of the DNA Business Unit at Aldevron and an expert in plasmid manufacturing, provided insights into the process and an outlook on the future.
