Meeting deadlines in a bioanalysis laboratory can be a big challenge. Older, less sensitive and less reliable LC-MS systems make it even more difficult. Even the disruption caused by the installation and validation can be disconcerting and delay decisions. Does this sound familiar?
Let’s break down the process and potential benefits of a regulated laboratory. The biggest challenge is usually the software installation and validation. To streamline this step, the Change Control support plan from SCIEX helps customers who require revalidation of their software to mitigate risk for software and hardware system assessments. Collaborate with us to integrate new software features seamlessly, bolster system security, enhance performance and ensure compatibility.
High system robustness enables analysis of large-scale sample sets
Learn how the robustness of the QTRAP 6500+ system ensures a smooth analysis of gut metabolites in plasma even with a high number of samples, complex matrices and challenging excipients.

Highly sensitive LC-MS/MS method for the quantification of fluticasone propionate in human plasma
Fluticasone propionate, a synthetic glucocorticoid with potent anti-inflammatory activity, requires very sensitive assays to monitor pharmacokinetic parameters due to the very low therapeutic inhaled dose ranges. This need has led us to use large sample volumes. Here, a selective, sensitive and reproducible bioanalytical method was developed for quantitation of fluticasone propionate (LLOQ of 200 fg/mL) in human plasma using the QTRAP 6500 system. Reduced sample volume (500 µL plasma) and a final reconstitution volume of 200 µL for reinjection of samples or repeat analysis chromatography if required in a GLP laboratory.

In monoclonal antibody (mAb) development, assessment of purity and integrity of the protein in question is critical. CE‑SDS is the gold standard assay and is routinely run from analytical development through QC and lot release. It’s trusted because it consistently delivers quantitative, size‑based insight into purity and fragmentation, and it fits naturally into regulated environments.
In drug discovery and development, Metabolite Identification (Met ID) plays a critical role in understanding biotransformation pathways, ensuring safety, and meeting regulatory requirements. Advanced mass spectrometry techniques have revolutionized this process, particularly through electron-based fragmentation methods such as Electron Activated Dissociation (EAD) and Electron Transfer Dissociation (ETD). While both techniques leverage electron interactions to generate informative fragment ions, they differ significantly in mechanism, performance, and suitability for Met ID workflows.
In analytical laboratories, performance is not optional. Whether supporting regulated pharmaceutical workflows, high-throughput CRO operations, clinical reporting, or food and environmental testing, your mass spectrometry and capillary electrophoresis systems are critical to productivity, compliance, and scientific confidence.
