As a researcher in a busy lab, the software driving your work is critical to your success, and the timely transition of SCIEX applications to Windows 10 is no exception. In early 2020 Microsoft will be ending Windows 7 support, and we want you to know we are taking every effort to ensure our software applications are up to date in advance of this deadline.
Why Are We Offering Windows 10 Software Application Compatibility?Computer manufacturers like Dell will not be able to ship Windows 7 compatible computers beyond the end of 2018. The reason being, they are having trouble locating components that have Windows 7 compatible drivers. New devices are already being shipped with Windows 10, and we don’t want to hold you back. Therefore, to ensure technological flexibility across your organization, we are offering application support changes now rather than later.
What SCIEX Software Platforms Are Compatible?Migrating to Microsoft’s latest operating system is essential in making sure your laboratory stays relevant and current. This move can present a number of ongoing challenges, including business disruptions or application incompatibilities, however. To address potential issues, SCIEX has released software upgrades, designed to run on Windows 10, for the entire software portfolio, including those solutions that power your mass spectrometry systems, such as Analyst® or SCIEX OS Software. The move to Windows 10 is an excellent first step toward modernizing your workstation software with minimal disruption and maximum benefit, the new SCIEX Alpha Workstation 2020 has just launched.
The Importance of Windows 10 to Your ResearchBy now, your IT team is most likely up to speed on Windows 10. As a reminder, however, Windows 10 was released more than two years ago and has since undergone many updates to improve functionality and security of your PC not to mention data. During this time, there have been some major improvements in the following areas that we feel are noteworthy to your work.

Depending on the samples that you are running on the system, it is possible for the Echo MS electrode to become dirty or occluded over time. Below are two different cleaning strategies that will be helpful for you to maintain your system and keep your electrodes running well.
Developing an analytical method can be one of the most rewarding jobs an analytical scientist can do, but it can also be one of the most complex and frustrating. To help guide your practical experiments and thought processes we spoke to Kean Woodmansey to benefit from his experience.
As analytical organizations grow, there is an even greater need to train scientists and operators more consistently to meet tight deadlines, handle increasing samples, and meet data quality expectations. A high rate of employee turnover also affects the productivity of labs worldwide. Consistent training helps today’s labs stay competitive, whether the goal is sample throughput, therapeutic development, or publication.
