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.

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.

ADC analytics FAQs: Answering the most common questions about ADC characterization

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) have emerged as one of the fastest-growing classes of biotherapeutics, combining the targeting specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the potency of cytotoxic payloads. However, this unique architecture also introduces significant analytical complexity. From drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) distributions and charge variants to conjugation sites and structural modifications, ADCs present multiple, interconnected sources of heterogeneity that must be understood to ensure product quality and performance.

Sterile but toxic: Cereulide detection in food matrices

In a recent webinar, Ming Gao, Ph.D., Senior Research Chemist at Mérieux NutriSciences, explored the growing challenge of cereulide contamination in food products and the analytical strategies needed to detect this heat-stable toxin at trace levels. The session examined how LC-MS/MS can help laboratories overcome the limitations of traditional microbiological screening and meet emerging regulatory requirements.
