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

The Echo® MS+ system is a novel platform for Acoustic Ejection Mass Spectrometry (AEMS) and combines the speed of acoustic sampling with the selectivity of mass spectrometry. This platform has been designed for high throughput analysis of small and large molecules. The technology combines Acoustic Droplet Ejection (ADE), an Open Port Interface (OPI) and could be coupled with the SCIEX Triple Quad 6500+ system or the ZenoTOF 7600 system.
The Echo® MS+ system comprises of an open-port interface (OPI) and acoustic droplet ejection (ADE) module which could be coupled with a mass spectrometer. The mass spectrometer could either be a SCIEX Triple Quad 6500+ system or the ZenoTOF 7600 system. This non-liquid chromatography based; high-throughput screening platform enables rapid analysis of compounds at speeds of up to 1 sample/second.
The ability to consistently achieve reproducible results on many complex samples across multiple days is critical to a routine clinical laboratory. Laboratories relying on analytical instrumentation require stability and robustness to perform a variety of screening and confirmatory assays with confidence. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has become the preferred analytical method in the clinical laboratory to reliably perform clinical testing as it provides best-in-class performance and reliability for the most challenging assays. LC-MS/MS offers the required levels of sensitivity and specificity for the detection and quantitation of molecules from complex biological samples, helping laboratories deliver highly accurate data for a variety of clinically relevant analytes across a wide range of assays.
