LC-MS system replacement: Are you ready?
Read time: 2 minutes Meeting deadlines in a bioanalysis laboratory can be a big challenge. Older, less sensitive and less reliable LC-MS systems make it even more difficult. Even the disruption caused by the installation and validation can be disconcerting and delay...
An overview: LC-MS analysis of targeted protein degraders and their metabolites
Read Time: 2 minutes Targeted protein degraders (TPD) are a relatively new therapeutic modality that opens the potential to target disease-causing proteins. These disease-causing proteins have been highly challenging for traditional small-molecule therapeutics to...
Is the next life-changing drug waiting to be analyzed in your laboratory?
Read time: 3 minutes In drug discovery laboratories, there is often a need to generate trusted analytical data on hundreds of thousands of drug candidates to allow confident decisions to be made. Sample prep, instrument run time, and data processing are all challenges...
Is “right first time, every time” a pipedream for metabolite identification by LC-MS?
Read time: 3 minutes The dream state If we lived in an ideal world, it would be possible to unambiguously identify metabolites using a single analytical experiment. This analytical technique would need to be efficient and easily generate the information needed from a...
Metabolite identification and peace of mind
Read Time: 3 minutes Managing metabolite identification (Met ID) studies is challenging, so what is at the top of your priority list as you plan the year ahead? Ensuring you have the data needed to manage product safety, meeting deadlines, staff recruitment and...
Overcoming N-nitrosamine analysis challenges with mass spectrometry and chromatography solutions
Read Time: 4 minutes N-nitrosamine analysis has raised significant concerns in the pharmaceutical industry since 2018, when these potential carcinogens were found in several angiotensin II receptor blockers (sartans). Subsequent discoveries in ranitidine and some...
Selecting the right system for bioanalytical quantitation
Read time: 3 minutes Investing in a new LC-MS system is not an easy decision, especially if you have a range of analytical requirements in your laboratory. This blog is part of a series intended to help you choose the right system for your pharmaceutical research and...
Want to accelerate your drug discovery workflow?
Read Time: 2 minutes Bringing a new drug to market is a costly and complex process. With potentially hundreds of thousands of new compounds to screen during drug discovery, sample throughput is a common bottleneck for pharmaceutical companies. So how do you overcome...
Selecting the right system for metabolite identification
Read Time: 3 minutes So, you need a new liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) system for your metabolite identification (metID) studies, and you are not sure which option is right for you. This blog provides an overview of the metID solutions offered by...
Easing the demands of a compliant pharmaceutical laboratory
Readtime: 3 minutes At SCIEX, we are proud to provide analytical systems to the pharmaceutical industry. We work hard to understand the demands of analytical work and the processes required to develop and manufacture drugs. While the performance of an analytical...
What has the Echo® MS system done for the pharma industry? (And don’t just take our word for it!)
Read time: 4 minutes SCIEX was very proud to have an illustration of the Acoustic Ejection Mass Spectrometry (AEMS) technology that powers the Echo® MS system on the front cover of the Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry in January 2023. The...
