At SCIEX, we are proud to provide analytical systems to the pharmaceutical industry. We work hard to understand the demands of analytical work and the processes required to develop and manufacture drugs.

While the performance of an analytical instrument is an obvious requirement, we also understand that developing a robust method is just the beginning. In one of the most highly regulated industries, it is no easy task to run a laboratory and satisfy all the relevant regulatory bodies around the world.

Much more than a metal box

If we have done our job right, our products should ease the burden of meeting regulatory requirements. SCIEX OS software is compliant-ready with features that support and enable you to be as efficient as possible and reduce the potential for human error.

For example, the user-friendly interface is intuitive, which reduces training time for scientists. Security management controls user access rights to prevent accidental changes to methods, method edits are logged for auditing and only approved users can sign off reports. These features are all designed to make your work life easier.

Meet our team

Our field service engineers and consultants are here for you, from system installation to method development and maintenance visits. You can choose a service level that meets your needs. Options include installation qualification and operational qualification (IQOQ) to ensure your system is always qualified, and that ongoing maintenance is taking place.

The qualification status of your instrument will be maintained because our engineers complete their work using good document practices to ensure you are audit-ready, giving you peace of mind.

Pharma perspectives: The influence of LC-MS innovation on drug development outsourcing

It is no secret that (bio)pharmaceutical research and development is complex, both scientific and regulatory processes. Working for a contract research organization and more recently for SCIEX has provided an interesting perspective on trends the market experiences that affect many of us.

Overcoming uncertainty in your PFAS analysis

Just like gum on the bottom of a shoe, the existence of per- and poly-fluorinated alkyl substances (PFAS) in our environment is a sticky one. If you’re in the field of environmental testing, then you’re all too familiar with the threat these substances have on public health. While we have learned a lot about them over the years, there is still much more to understand. With the right detection methods, we can gather the information we need to empower us to make informed decisions on reducing the risks they impose.

6 Signs it’s time for a new vendor

A lab’s success depends on many factors from instrument quality to efficient operations, including being partnered with the right vendor. A vendor is more than just a supplier. They should provide you with a high-level quality of support in maximizing the lifespan and performance of your systems, reducing downtime, enhancing ROI and more. How do you know if you’re partnered with the right one? Here are six signs it might be time to find someone new.
