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.

Why traditional MS/MS falls short for ADCs and how electron-activated dissociation (EAD) changes the equation

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) are among the most promising—and analytically demanding—modalities in biopharma today. By combining large, heterogeneous antibodies with chemically labile payloads and linkers, ADCs introduce a level of structural complexity that challenges conventional analytical workflows. It also poses the challenge that the very features you need to measure are often the easiest to lose during analysis.

Six benefits of remote support every laboratory should know

Imagine having a tech expert at your fingertips to solve computer issues or a fitness trainer guiding you through workouts from the comfort of your home. In today’s fast-paced world, the ability to provide and receive service and support remotely is no longer a luxury but a necessity. Whether it’s troubleshooting a software issue, repairing a device, offering customer assistance, or enjoying the convenience of telehealth as a private individual, remote capabilities have revolutionized how businesses operate and how individuals get help
