You’ve bought your mass spectrometer. You’ve installed all your hardware. You’ve got your operating software set up. You’ve mastered your software workflow modules to optimize quantitative and qualitative data processing. That’s it, right?
Even though your system is running smoothly, you’ll need to stay current with new software features to make your job easier, expand your system’s capabilities, and grow your lab´s productivity. The best way to do this is with a Software Support Contract.
A support plan gives you access to new releases and bug fixes for either your instrument software that is provided with the instrument, or non-instrument software (application vertical software), or both.
We publish software updates several times a year as new features and capabilities become available. Recently, new versions of SCIEX OS Software were released. Application vertical software can also be affected by hardware and third-party software updates. Remaining current with all of your software will help minimize potential instrument downtime.
Our software support contracts portfolio comes with a variety of features and benefits matching your unique needs and requirements.
Although we all expect the solutions we buy and install to work easily and consistently, technology – especially complex systems made up of lots of components sitting on a network – may require vendor support to get up and running. There are also times when you may just need some advice on how best to approach a hardware change, software update or day-to-day user questions. Having a support agreement already in place can save you time, money, and hassle.
Compare the ease of picking up the phone to connect to a friendly support technician, with no need to consider cost or process, with the alternative:
SCIEX Software Support Plans also let you jump the queue to get priority support before users who don’t have one. And, they’re renewed on an annual basis, so your coverage never needs to lapse.

Finding the right information shouldn’t slow you down. Whether you’re troubleshooting your mass spec, learning something new, or optimizing performance, access to the right resources at the right moment makes all the difference.
As an analytical strategy, middle-down mass spectrometry (MS) workflows characterize biotherapeutic proteins by analyzing large, digested protein fragments or defined subunits, rather than fully intact proteins (top-down) or digested peptides (bottom-up). A middle-down strategy combines the strengths of top-down and bottom-up approaches by delivering high sequence coverage and structural specificity while maintaining relatively simple sample preparation. In practice, middle-down analysis enables accurate mass measurement, rapid sequence confirmation, and localization of key post-translational modifications (PTMs) on protein subunits that are directly relevant to product quality.
In biopharmaceutical development, sequence variants (SV) are considered an inherent risk of producing complex proteins in living systems. Sequence variants are unintended changes to the amino acid sequence of a biotherapeutic and can be caused by errors in transcription or translation in the host cell, or cell culture and process conditions. Detailed analysis of SVs is important in process and product development to ensure the drug’s safety and efficacy. Even low‑level sequence variants can have significant implications for product quality, safety, and efficacy, making their accurate detection and characterization a critical requirement across development, process optimization, and regulatory submission.
