If you are reading this blog, it is likely that you are fully acquainted with food fraud, but let’s just take a moment to set the scene. Food fraud is by no means a new phenomenon and goes as far back as the middle ages, with the concept of tampering or...
Why LC-MS MAM?The Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Multiple Attribute Methodology (LC-MS MAM) is a technique that is quickly gaining traction in the development and manufacturing of biopharmaceuticals. But what exactly is MAM? As researchers describe in a...
Traditional mass spectrometry ionization methods such as electronic spray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI), are popular methods for detecting the molecular weight of proteins, peptides, and other biologics. The reason being both...
As hospitals struggle with increasingly hard-to-treat antimicrobial resistance (ARM) bacterial infections, related deaths now exceed 700,000 per year globally and are predicted to reach 10 million per year by 2050. There’s no denying that these statistics are both...
Why You Need Differential Mobility Spectrometry for Forensic Mass Spec Analysis Forensics depend on detection of even the smallest compounds to deliver results you can rely on. You need fast analysis methods that provide highly accurate data across a multitude of...
High selectivity is a key component of successful quantitative bioanalysis. As a bioanalyst, we need consistently accurate and robust quantitation of small molecule therapeutics and metabolites. Challenged by complicated matrix interferences, high baseline signal, and...
SCIEX Launches Laboratory Optimization Services What would you say to reducing your total run time by more than half? What if we told you that you could increase lab productivity by around 10-30%, reduce labor time by 30% and make five-figure material savings...
Often by the time you’re aware of a problem, it’s too late, and disaster has already struck. You’re forced to pick up the pieces—downtime, reduced productivity and lost data. When your PC goes down, IT comes to the rescue. That’s a reactive approach. In many cases, IT...
Like most organizations, your lab is likely thinking about ways to reduce costs and maximize profits.If so, keep in mind that no matter your area of research, sample volume or locations, remote monitoring services can make a difference in yearly maintenance...
Drug overdose has become one of the leading causes of death of Americans under 50. If that’s not bad enough, let’s put this into perspective. America makes up only 4% of the world population. In 2015, it recorded 52,400 drug-related deaths, which is about 27% of the...
Professor Dr. Thomas Hankemeier, Head of the Division of Systems Biomedicine and Pharmacology, LACDRLACDR is a center of excellence for multidisciplinary research into drug discovery and development, with a strong focus on metabolomics. As part of its research...
In the old days, if you wanted to monitor your lab’s data, you would either remain by your instrument as long as it took to complete the sample run or dial-in via a telephone modem. Neither option, however, offered much in the way of enhancing productivity. Today’s...
