Glyphosate is a polar pesticide widely used as a garden herbicide. It is an ingredient in the world’s bestselling weed killer, which farmers consider one of their best solutions to their super weed problems.
However, the chemical has become one of the most controversial topics as concerns about health implications increase. What’s more, lack of rigorous testing methods has also drawn criticism. Yet, regulators across seem to have differing opinions on these issues and its widely used in farming is still authorized.
Many contemporary methods fail to address reproducibility and sensitivity. Consequently, labs are seeking even more efficient and robust analytical testing methods to help identify as many polar pesticides in food, feed, and environment, within in a single analysis.
There are 2 constraints you need to know need when evaluating glyphosate testing methods:
The good news? SCIEX has teamed up with NofaLab, a Rotterdam-based contract testing laboratory to develop a non-derivatized method.
This new method, is based on ion chromatography and optimized on the SCIEX 6500+ QTRAP® LC-MS/MS System, has high sensitivity, linearity, and reproducibility for food, feed, and water samples.

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.
