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:

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.
