Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry is commonly used for Met ID but confident soft spot identification is not always possible. Imagine the advantage of unambiguous metabolite identification using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) reducing the need for additional safety testing during drug discovery. Quickly and easily generate the information you need using routine assays that are robust and efficient, enabling confident decision-making while also saving time and money. Learn more >
Metabolite identification is a key task during drug discovery to establish safety and efficacy of a drug candidate. LC-MS assays for metabolite identification typically use collision-induced dissociation (CID) to fragment ions for structural elucidation, and soft-spot identification. With challenging metabolites, CID doesn’t produce sufficient fragment ions or help with labile modifications and a clear identification cannot be made. This can lead to the need for additional testing to meet regulatory requirements.
EAD is a fragmentation method available on the ZenoTOF 7600 system that causes ions in an LC-MS/MS experiment to fragment in locations that are different from where they fragment with CID, providing additional information to scientists. For metabolite identification, this could mean confident identification of the metabolite and localization of the site of metabolism, removing the need for additional safety testing.

Useful FAQ document to enable researchers to focus on their scientific discoveries and insights rather than the complexities of data management.
In today’s environment in which labs are under pressure to reduce operating costs, many will compare the cost of a service contract between third-party providers and the original equipment manufacturer (OEM). At first glance, going with a service contract from a third-party provider may seem like a smart financial move, but experience shows they can introduce risks that affect reliability and compliance.
We recently hosted a webinar focused on streamlining forensic toxicology workflows, featuring expert speakers Maria Sarkisian from the San Francisco Office of the Chief Medical Examiner (SFOCME) and Dr. Dick Paul Kloos from the Netherlands Forensic Institute (NFI). The webinar explored innovative LC-MS/MS strategies that help forensic labs improve efficiency. In this blog, we share highlights from the Q&A session, where our speakers addressed the audience’s questions and shared actionable insights for forensic laboratory professionals.
