The rules have changed by SCIEX Community | Jul 10, 2026 | Blogs, Instrument maintenance, SCIEX OS software, Support, TechnologyRegulated laboratories are evolving faster than ever. New analytical modalities, higher sample throughput, increasing regulatory scrutiny, and leaner teams are reshaping how work gets done. At the same time, expectations for data integrity, standardization, and operational efficiency continue to increase complexity and/or scope. In this environment, LC-MS software is no longer simply an instrument control platform—it has become a critical part of a laboratory’s quality management system. The question is no longer whether your lab has changed, but whether your software has evolved to support the way regulated labs operate today, and if they are ready and able to meet the demands, they will face tomorrow.
The wakeup call by SCIEX Community | Jul 10, 2026 | Blogs, Instrument maintenance, SCIEX OS software, Support, TechnologyAnalyst software has long been a trusted foundation in regulated LC-MS laboratories—and for many, it still performs reliably today. But regulated environments are evolving faster than ever. As labs transition to Windows 11, strengthen cybersecurity policies, modernize IT infrastructure, and prepare for future compliance expectations, software decisions are no longer just about what works today—they’re about managing tomorrow’s risk. Analyst will not be supported on Windows 11. While some labs may continue operating in unsupported environments temporarily, the bigger question is: when that risk becomes reality, will your lab be reacting under pressure—or executing a planned mitigation strategy with confidence?
Why TFA in water Is gaining attention, and how labs can measure it with confidence by Carlos Bueno | Jul 2, 2026 | Blogs, Environmental / IndustrialAs regulatory scrutiny increases and detection requirements tighten, laboratories are facing a new question: How can TFA be measured reliably, sensitively, and at scale?
Confident glycan characterization with EAD‑enabled LC‑MS workflows by Roxana McCloskey | Jun 30, 2026 | Biopharma, BlogsGlycosylation is one of the more structurally diverse and biologically impactful PTMs in protein therapeutics. Both N‑linked and O‑linked glycans influence protein folding, stability, and biological activity. Given these effects on biotherapeutics, glycosylation is a closely monitored critical quality attribute (CQA). Comprehensive and site‑specific characterization of glycosylation is essential for informed decision‑making throughout drug discovery and development.
7 risks every lab should consider before the warranty ends by Andrea Mueller | Jun 24, 2026 | Blogs, Service, Support, TechnologyWarranty expiration is more than an administrative milestone—it is a transition point that can significantly impact instrument uptime, laboratory productivity, operating budgets, and scientific outcomes.

PFAS explained: What they are, why they matter, and what’s changing by Simon Roberts | Jun 17, 2026 | Blogs, Environmental / Industrial, Food / BeveragePFAS are increasingly at the center of regulatory change, scientific research, and industry discussion worldwide. As analytical capabilities improve and expectations around environmental responsibility continue to evolve, understanding the role PFAS play, and how they are being addressed, has never been more important. This blog provides an overview of what PFAS are, why they matter, and how responses from regulators and industry are changing.
Pesticide residue testing in food: Supporting confident and compliant analysis by SCIEX Community | Jun 11, 2026 | Blogs, Food / BeveragePesticides are widely used in agriculture to protect crops and maintain yield, but their presence in food must be carefully monitored. To safeguard consumers, regulatory authorities worldwide set maximum residue limits (MRLs), often at very low concentrations and across a wide range of compound classes.
Why capillary electrophoresis still matters in modern biopharma by Roxana McCloskey | Jun 9, 2026 | Biopharma, Blogs, CEExplore why capillary electrophoresis remains essential for high resolution, confident analytics across modern biopharma modalities, from proteins to mRNA and gene therapies
Where does capillary electrophoresis fit across drug development? by Roxana McCloskey | Jun 9, 2026 | Biopharma, Blogs, CECapillary electrophoresis (CE) is not confined to a single point in the drug development lifecycle. Its value comes from the ability to deliver high‑resolution, reproducible separations that remain relevant as analytical questions evolve, from early discovery through late‑stage development and lot release.
