Have you thought about introducing new technology into your high-throughput drug discovery lab? Here are 5 reasons the Echo® MS system could make a difference for you.
1. Increased sample throughput While a traditional fast LC-MS/MS run can take nearly 10 hours per plate, a 384-well plate of samples can take approximately 10 minutes per plate with the Echo® MS system. This means that study data can be available on the day samples are prepared and with the reliability of MS/MS.
2. Reduced carryover Moving away from LC-MS/MS eliminates the challenge of potential carryover. Acoustic Droplet Ejection technology removes the need for physical contact between the autosampler needle and the sample.
3. Method sensitivity Detection levels in the low nanomolar range are typically required in a high-throughput drug discovery lab and are readily achieved by the Echo® MS system.
4. Sample preparation savings Simply prepare the samples in an appropriate solvent and load them into a qualified microplate. Only 2.5 nL of precious sample is required for each analysis.
5. Data accuracy The Echo® MS system uses the trusted SCIEX Triple Quad 6500+ mass spectrometer to provide excellent Z’ values with MS/MS reliability.

We recently hosted a webinar focused on streamlining forensic toxicology workflows, featuring expert speakers Maria Sarkisian from the San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (SFOCME) and Dr. Dick Paul Kloos from the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI). The webinar explored innovative LC-MS/MS strategies that help forensic labs improve efficiency. In this blog, we share highlights from the Q&A session, where our speakers addressed the audience’s questions and shared actionable insights for forensic laboratory professionals.
We’re excited to launch our Ask the PFAS expert series, where we tackle some of the most pressing questions around PFAS testing, containment, and contamination control. In this first instalment, we sit down with Simon Roberts, a SCIEX application scientist, to share practical insights and expert advice.
Thanks to Starbucks, who launched the pumpkin spice latte in 2003 (yes, over 20 years ago), the spice mixture became a global phenomenon, loved and disliked at the same time.
