There’s no doubt about it, biopharma drug development is experiencing phenomenal growth and presents a variety of challenges not experienced in small molecule development. Some of these challenges are in the selective and sensitive quantitation of peptides and proteins in complex matrices. These large molecule analytes can suffer from matrix interferences, poor fragmentation and lack of quality unique peptides, or transitions compared to background, all which can affect the quality of analysis.
Traditional mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assays continue to be highly effective for large molecule quantitation, but what if you need something more selective? What if you could easily ‘upgrade’ your already powerful mass spec? Thanks to advancements in mass spectrometry technology there is now an option that can be a game changer for peptide and protein quantitation workflows.
We are talking about the SelexION® Differential Mobility Separation (DMS) device. It offers a unique enhancement to your SCIEX mass spec, helping to remove sample interferences and separate isobaric peptide species, resulting in more sensitive and selective detection and quantitation of challenging large molecule targets.
Key Features of SelexION Technology for Peptide and Protein QuantitationUsing differential ion mobility spectroscopy (DMS) as an orthogonal dimension of separation prior to MS detection can provide many advantages:
Can provide enhanced specificity, selectivity, and sensitivity compared to LC-MS/MS alone

Depending on the samples that you are running on the system, it is possible for the Echo MS electrode to become dirty or occluded over time. Below are two different cleaning strategies that will be helpful for you to maintain your system and keep your electrodes running well.
Developing an analytical method can be one of the most rewarding jobs an analytical scientist can do, but it can also be one of the most complex and frustrating. To help guide your practical experiments and thought processes we spoke to Kean Woodmansey to benefit from his experience.
As analytical organizations grow, there is an even greater need to train scientists and operators more consistently to meet tight deadlines, handle increasing samples, and meet data quality expectations. A high rate of employee turnover also affects the productivity of labs worldwide. Consistent training helps today’s labs stay competitive, whether the goal is sample throughput, therapeutic development, or publication.
