Often by the time you’re aware of a problem, it’s too late, and disaster has already struck. You’re forced to pick up the pieces—downtime, reduced productivity and lost data.
When your PC goes down, IT comes to the rescue. That’s a reactive approach. In many cases, IT can predict when your PC will fail, based on remote monitoring and diagnostics.
Wouldn’t it be nice if there were a way to fix mass spectrometer issues before they snowballed into an instrument failure? This is where LC-MS remote monitoring comes in.
Mass spec remote monitoring allows your team to observe the current health your system efficiently—from anywhere, at any time. That means fewer surprises and maximized uptime.
Your SCIEX LC-MS systems are compatible with StatusScope® Remote Monitoring service. If you have a service or support contract, you just need to have it turned on by your SCIEX service professional. Enabling the StatusScope service will also require some help from your IT department.
A Case for StatusScope Remote MonitoringWhile most IT teams are familiar with the benefits of remote monitoring, network security and stability are their highest priority. Check out the following FAQ’s to help you explain the StatusScope service to your IT department, and address their concerns.
Question: How can I convince my IT team that StatusScope Remote Monitoring is secure?Answer: The StatusScope Remote Monitoring is unidirectional. This means all communication is initiated from inside your firewall. All communication is outbound-only, through port 443 with end-to-end encryption.
Only instrument operating parameters are monitored. Proprietary data is safe and not transmitted.
Question: What about encryption standards?Answer: All SSL communication supports only strong encryption standards (TLS 1.2 only) with no downgrade negotiation
StatusScope Remote Monitoring only supports Transport Layer Security (TLS 1.2), with no downgrade negotiation. Thus, you can be confident that all your instrument operating parameters are within a highly secure environment.
Question: I need to be sure my research data is secure. How do I ensure it won’t get leaked?Answer: Only instrument operating parameters are monitored. Proprietary data is safe. SCIEX does not collect or retain any analytic or assay information from connected devices.
Question: How do I know SCIEX is a reliable cloud provider?Answer: StatusScope Remote Monitoring is built on the Axeda Machine Cloud platform from PTC Corp, an industry leader in IoT. PTC has Tier 1 data centers in global locations and is ISO 27001 certified. SCIEX is not running its own cloud; all data transactions happen in the PTC cloud.
Question: I like the idea of mass spec remote monitoring services, but how do I convince my IT team to take on the project?Answer: Your IT Team can implement the StatusScope Remote Monitoring Services with little effort. IT only needs to facilitate outbound HTTPS traffic. There is no need to open any new ports. A small number of external IP addresses need to be whitelisted for the StatusScope service to work.
Question: With all the data my research generates, how do I know StatusScope Remote Monitoring will not fill up our bandwidth?Answer: StatusScope requires low bandwidth, similar to someone performing occasional web browsing.
Produced by certain moulds, thriving in crops such as grain, nuts and coffee, mycotoxins have contaminated agriculture and food production industries for a long time. To intensify the challenge, mycotoxins are resilient, not easily broken down and ensuring the safety of food supply chains requires comprehensive solutions and we are here to share those solutions with you.
Electron-Activated Dissociation (EAD) is transforming the fields of metabolomics and lipidomics by providing enhanced fragmentation techniques that offer deeper insights into molecular structures. In September, Technology Networks hosted a webinar, “Enhancing Mass-Based Omics Analysis in Model Organisms,” featuring Dr. Valentina Calabrese from the Institute of Analytical Sciences at the University of Lyon. Valentina shared her insights on improving omics-based mass spectrometry analysis for toxicology studies using model organisms, particularly in metabolomics and lipidomics. This blog explores the additional functionalities EAD offers, its benefits in untargeted workflows, its incorporation into GNPS and molecular networking, and the future role it could play in these scientific domains.
Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has gained significant attention in the clinical laboratory due to its ability to provide best-in-class sensitivity and specificity for the detection of clinically relevant analytes across a wide range of assays. For clinical laboratories new to LC-MS/MS, integrating this technology into their daily routine operations may seem like a daunting task. Developing a clear outline and defining the requirements needed to implement LC-MS/MS into your daily operations is critical to maximize the productivity and success of your clinical laboratory.
