Introduction

Drug development is a challenging process that requires diverse analytical solutions and the expertise of research scientists.

Within drug discovery confident go/no-go decisions need to be made as quickly as possible. Often, highly sensitive techniques are needed to accurately monitor concentrations of biomarkers, therapeutic candidates, and their metabolites. QA/QC laboratories need consistent performance everyday over many years.

Pharmaceutical quantitation solution guide

We understand you are busy, needing to prioritize running instruments, reporting results and managing your laboratory to meet deadlines. We created a solution guide to explain how SCIEX systems fit in the drug development pipeline to save you time evaluating options.

The guide covers bio/pharmaceutical quantitative assays from discovery to QA/QC, for large and small molecules. Discussing challenges regularly faced by scientists, along with potential solutions.

How SCIEX Now empowers mass spec users to work with more control, clarity and confidence

In this interview, Andy Wilcox, Senior Market Development Manager, Aftermarket and Software, speaks with Susanna Baqué, Senior Director of Global Customer Experience, about how SCIEX Now gives customers one connected digital workspace to manage instruments, reduce time spent searching for information, resolve issues faster and keep their laboratory running more efficiently and with greater confidence.

Bioanalysis across modalities: Advancing confident decisions with modern LC‑MS strategies

As therapeutic pipelines continue to diversify, bioanalysis is being asked to do more than ever before. From small molecules to complex biologics, today’s scientists must generate high‑quality, reliable data across a growing range of molecule types and workflows, often under increasing time pressure.

The rules have changed

Regulated laboratories are evolving faster than ever. New analytical modalities, higher sample throughput, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and leaner teams are reshaping how work gets done. At the same time, expectations for data integrity, standardization, and operational efficiency continue to increase complexity and/or scope. In this environment, LC-MS software is no longer simply an instrument control platform—it has become a critical part of a laboratory’s quality management system. The question is no longer whether your lab has changed, but whether your software has evolved to support the way regulated labs operate today, and if they are ready and able to meet the demands, they will face tomorrow.
