Easing the demands of a compliant pharmaceutical laboratory
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.

Optimized rolling collision energy curves for IDA and SWATH DIA for peptides
During data dependent acquisition (DDA or IDA) or SWATH acquisition, the collision energy can be automatically adjusted according to the mass/charge and charge of the peptide. This dependency has been well characterized on our QTOF systems. By selecting rolling...

Handle with care: Ensuring LNP lipid quality for better genetic medicines
Lipid nanoparticles (LNPs) are widely used vehicles for oligonucleotide-based therapeutics and vaccines. However, LNPs can be susceptible to N-oxide-based impurities that can cause messenger RNA (mRNA) to lose function.

Current proteomics software compatibility for ZenoTOF 7600 system
Below is a summary of various other software packages that are useful for processing proteomics data from the ZenoTOF 7600 system. Note this list is not comprehensive and only covers the tools we have lightly tested to date. Acquisition Type Software Files needed...

Easy switching of sources and LC flow regimes on the ZenoTOF 7600 system
This series of videos outlines how a user can easily switch sources and operate the system in different LC flow regimes.

Creating a library from a FASTA file for library-free data analysis
While generating proteomic spectral libraries today is relatively easy, sometimes a library is needed and there is not time or need to generate a deep library using the traditional data-dependent acquisition approach. Here, a strategy will be outlined to generate a...

Processing ZenoTOF 7600 system data with DIA-NN software
DIA-NN software is a powerful software tool for processing data independent acquisition (DIA) proteomics datasets. It uses neural networks and other algorithms to identify and quantify peptides and proteins from DIA data and is specifically optimized for fast...

Setting up custom on-column nanoflow calibration for the ZenoTOF 7600 system using PepCalMix
For nanoflow workflows using the ZenoTOF 7600 system and the standard nanoflow interface, on-column calibration is required and can be incorporated automatically into the SCIEX OS software acquisition batch. Here, step-by-step instructions are provided to set up a...

Using Scheduled Ionization to reduce system ion load for proteomics data acquisition
When analyzing highly complex samples from biological matrices, there can be significant amounts of material that elute in the wash cycle of the LC run, depending on the up-front sample preparation used. The Scheduled Ionization mode, available in both SCIEX OS...
