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:

Regulated laboratories are evolving faster than ever. New analytical modalities, higher sample throughput, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and leaner teams are reshaping how work gets done. At the same time, expectations for data integrity, standardization, and operational efficiency continue to increase complexity and/or scope. In this environment, LC-MS software is no longer simply an instrument control platform—it has become a critical part of a laboratory’s quality management system. The question is no longer whether your lab has changed, but whether your software has evolved to support the way regulated labs operate today, and if they are ready and able to meet the demands, they will face tomorrow.
Analyst software has long been a trusted foundation in regulated LC-MS laboratories—and for many, it still performs reliably today. But regulated environments are evolving faster than ever. As labs transition to Windows 11, strengthen cybersecurity policies, modernize IT infrastructure, and prepare for future compliance expectations, software decisions are no longer just about what works today—they’re about managing tomorrow’s risk. Analyst will not be supported on Windows 11. While some labs may continue operating in unsupported environments temporarily, the bigger question is: when that risk becomes reality, will your lab be reacting under pressure—or executing a planned mitigation strategy with confidence?
As regulatory scrutiny increases and detection requirements tighten, laboratories are facing a new question: How can TFA be measured reliably, sensitively, and at scale?
