Every decision you make requires a number
As a pharmaceutical scientist, you understand the challenges in getting a new drug through the discovery and development pipeline. As an innovation partner in mass spectrometry, SCIEX works continuously with you, our customers, to provide solutions that meet those challenges. Our focus is on getting you the numbers you need to make informed decisions.
Working with complex sample matrices, you need technology that allows you to see everything in your sample, no matter how high or low the levels. Tools that can detect low pg/mL levels (or lower) can analyze a wide mass range of compounds (across five orders of magnitude) and can resolve similar or even isobaric compounds, enable you to get the quality data that allow your lab to move forward. And you need to move quickly, without wasting time on repairs and troubleshooting.
Conquering your challenges
Since the first commercially available electrospray triple-quadrupole instrument, SCIEX has delivered innovative mass spectrometry-based solutions. Today, we continue that legacy of innovation and our commitment to delivering the technology you need to move past the challenges that slow you down.
As we mark the 30th anniversary of the industry-changing API III LC-MS/MS system in 2019, we are revisiting the basics of answering: Why quant? Why SCIEX for quant?? We‘ll examine how our mass spectrometry innovation addresses the challenges you struggle with the most, today– exploring what you need from the technology that helps you achieve your goals. Now, let’s talk a little bit about the four key pillars we use to characterize those goals: Sensitivity, Selectivity, Reproducibility, and Robustness.
SensitivityYou need a mass spectrometer that sees what’s in your sample. Superior sensitivity is a tool for the situations you face every day:

SelectivityPowerful selectivity keeps your target compounds from being obscured by unexpected interferences:

ReproducibilityIndustry leaders discuss their results clearly and with confidence. Knowing you’re presenting reproducible data makes those discussions easier:

RobustnessDowntime costs money and keeps you from getting to market on time. A robust system helps solve that problem:

Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is emerging as one of the most concerning ultrashort-chain PFAS in Europe’s food supply – particularly in cereals, a staple consumed daily by millions. A report from PAN Europe reveals a widespread and largely unmonitored contamination trend that raises serious questions about food safety, regulatory blind spots, and future monitoring strategies.
PFAS analysis is complex, but expert guidance doesn’t have to be. In this episode of our ‘Ask the PFAS expert series’, we’re joined by Michael Scherer, Application Lead for Food and Environmental, to answer the most pressing questions in PFAS analysis. From why LC-MS/MS systems are the gold standard for analyzing diverse PFAS compounds, to which EU methods deliver reliable results for drinking water, and to practical steps to prevent contamination, Michael shares actionable insights to help laboratories achieve accuracy, consistency, and confidence in their workflows.
During an LC-MS/MS experiment, traditional fragmentation techniques like collision-induced dissociation (CID) have long been the gold standard. Electron-activated dissociation (EAD) is emerging as a transformative tool that enhances structural elucidation, particularly for complex or labile metabolites.
