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.

Waterproof jackets. Stain-resistant shoes. Easy-clean fabrics are marketed as “performance.” Behind those everyday claims sits a class of chemicals now reshaping regulation, brand accountability, and laboratory science: PFAS.
For decades, SCIEX has been part of bioanalytical innovation, empowering scientists in pharma and biopharma to push the boundaries of sensitivity, accuracy, and throughput. Across complex workflows and increasingly challenging therapeutic modalities.
Trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) is emerging as one of the most concerning ultrashort-chain PFAS in Europe’s food supply – particularly in cereals, a staple consumed daily by millions. A report from PAN Europe reveals a widespread and largely unmonitored contamination trend that raises serious questions about food safety, regulatory blind spots, and future monitoring strategies.
