Taking care of your mass spectrometer—Onsite troubleshooting and maintenance training for today’s lab

Sep 26, 2016 | Blogs, Technology | 0 comments

Recently, we asked customers to tell us about their biggest challenges so we could customize training programs to meet the needs of today’s growing lab. Without hesitation, most of you said uptime and employee training are your most critical needs. As a result, our SCIEX Now Learning Hub educational support team has been hard at work developing basic maintenance and advanced troubleshooting courses for your LC-MS instruments to empower you to keep your lab on task.Register for LC Maintenance or Advanced LC-MS Troubleshooting >

What you’ll learn
Now accepting registration, technology courses are taught by our application scientists onsite at your location. Participants will learn how to detect and understand:

  • System symptoms
  • Diagnostics
  • Maintenance issues

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.
