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:

Last year, Technology Networks hosted two webinars that featured groundbreaking research utilizing SWATH DIA (data-independent acquisition) for exposomics and metabolomics. Researchers Dr. Vinicius Verri Hernandes from the University of Vienna and Dr. Cristina Balcells from Imperial College London (ICL) demonstrated how a DIA approach can be successfully implemented in small molecule analysis using the ZenoTOF 7600 system. Their innovative approaches highlight the potential of SWATH DIA to enhance the detection and analysis of chemical exposures and metabolites, paving the way for new insights into environmental health and disease mechanisms.
For as long as PFAS persist in the environment, there is no doubt they will persist in our conversations as environmental scientists. Globally, PFAS contamination has been detected in water supplies, soil and even in the blood of people and wildlife. Different countries are at various stages of addressing PFAS contamination and many governments have set regulatory limits and are working on assessing the extent of contamination, cleaning up affected sites and researching safer alternatives.
On average, it takes 10-15 years and 1-2 billion dollars to approve a new pharmaceutical for clinical use. Since approximately 90% of new drug candidates fail in clinical development, the ability to make early, informed and accurate decisions on the safety and efficacy of new hits and leads is key to increasing the chances of success.
