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. Read more about how to achieve 21 CFR Part 11 compliance with SCIEX OS software in accordance with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP).

Let’s meet a few members of the SCIEX team and hear how they help customers every day.

Why SCIEX partners with experts around the world

Innovation in mass spectrometry does not happen in isolation. Some of the most impactful scientific advances emerge from highly specialized research communities – proteomics experts developing new peptide identification workflows, metabolomics researchers curating spectral databases, toxicologists building compound libraries, and biopharma scientists creating novel characterization methods.

Managing ADC characterization: The challenge of turning complexity into confidence

Unlike traditional monoclonal antibodies, ADCs combine an antibody backbone with linker chemistry and a cytotoxic payload. This multi-component architecture introduces overlapping layers of heterogeneity, including drug-to-antibody ratio (DAR) distributions, charge variants, post-translational modifications, and structural changes at both the intact and subunit levels. Across ADC development, these characteristics are considered critical quality attributes that must be characterized, understood, and monitored.

3 reasons ZT Scan DIA is changing the game in metabolomics

For years, metabolomics researchers have faced a frustrating reality: modern high-resolution mass spectrometers can detect tens of thousands of molecular features, yet only a fraction can be confidently identified. The challenge is no longer finding molecules. It is generating the high-quality MS/MS data needed to confidently assign structures and extract meaningful biological insights.
