Imagine the productivity gains your lab could achieve with a technology that not only analyzes samples up to 50x faster than conventional quantitative LC-MS, but also eliminates tedious sample preparation, time-consuming LC method development and chromatographic run times.
Sound impossible? Not anymore.
Enter the new, exciting and very real Echo® MS System with:
Wait…no LC?
With its Acoustic Droplet Ejection (ADE) and Open Port Interface (OPI), the Echo MS System replaces conventional LC with game-changing technology that dramatically reduces the amount of time required for quantitative MS analysis. With no LC requirements, the Echo® MS System eliminates the need to spend time and effort developing separation methods. Troubleshooting LC problems and waiting for LC columns to wash, equilibrate and elute analytes disappear, all while delivering a speed of analysis that sets records for quantitative MS.
Imagine a 384 well plate finished in less than 7 minutes.1 With that kind of speed, entire discovery libraries containing millions of compounds can be quantitatively analyzed in a matter of days. Lead compounds are discovered faster, and project timelines can be radically accelerated.
Having this kind of speed means:
“Recently we heard comments from one of our collaborators. They are already starting to see the paradigm shift in their company. A lot of assays routinely run on the optical-based analytical instrument are now shifting to the mass-spec-based platform.”2Chang Liu, SCIEX R&D
With the Echo MS System, a fundamentally fast platform is combined with an effort-easing workflow that is more than the sum of its parts. With the capability to accelerate project turnaround times from months to weeks, days or even hours or minutes, the Echo MS System can dramatically improve your lab productivity.

As therapeutic pipelines continue to diversify, bioanalysis is being asked to do more than ever before. From small molecules to complex biologics, today’s scientists must generate high‑quality, reliable data across a growing range of molecule types and workflows, often under increasing time pressure.
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?
