An overview: LC-MS analysis of targeted protein degraders and their metabolites by Kirsten Craven | 0 CommentsTargeted 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 treat, making TPDs an exciting new therapeutic modality.
Guide decisions during cell line development with more information at the intact level by Roxana McCloskey | 0 CommentsMonitoring product quality attributes (PQAs) throughout monoclonal antibody (mAb) development is vital to ensuring drug safety and efficacy. By adopting orthogonal analytical techniques and integrating new technologies that have the potential to provide more information, it is possible to improve product quality and manufacturing efficiency and make more informed decisions.
Jon MacGregor by Jon MacGregor | 0 CommentsI have a turbo v ion source that shows a glowing blue/purple light at the tip of the Heated Nebulizer corona discharge needle, even when it is not in use and turned out of ion path as it should be when using TIS probe. It only happens in negative mode. It is not arcing to the cutain plate, just a slight noticeable glow at the tip of the corona needle when observed through the front window. My FSE has rebuilt the HN probe and components and also installed a new TIS probe. Still glows when in negative mode. Note also having poor sensitivity in negative mode as well and jagged peak shapes during infusion. Any ideas? Are the symptoms related?

The risky business of aflatoxins in milk by Robert Di Lorenzo | Blogs, Food / BeverageIf you’re in the dairy or food testing business, you know the threat aflatoxins pose. Aflatoxins are a type of mycotoxin produced by Aspergillus parasiticus, aspergillus flavus , and rarely aspergillus nomius.1 These are likely the most extensively researched group of mycotoxins because of their adverse health effects.2 What’s more, they are widely found in a variety of crops, namely maize, tree nuts, and spices. Believed to be primarily caused by rising temperatures and humidity, these naturally occurring fungi grow on crops in the field, or during storage of feed and raw materials, where they can potentially produce toxins that enter the food chain.
What’s in your citrus oil? by Craig Butt | Blogs, Food / BeverageCraig Butt explains a non-targeted omics approach to characterizing and profiling compounds in citrus oil Read time: 4 minutes There is increasing interest among consumers in the benefits of natural products containing citrus beyond the traditionally known benefits of...
Breaking down the SCIEX Triple Quad™ 7500 LC-MS/MS System – QTRAP® Ready by Jianru Stahl-Zeng | Blogs, ClinicalSensitivity and robustness carry different meanings in the world of mass spectrometry. Generally, sensitivity refers to an instrument’s ability to achieve lower limits of detection (LOD). Robustness, on the other hand, refers to an instrument’s ability to consistently...
The honey sting by Katherine Hyland | Blogs, Food / BeverageAs a consumer it’s hard for me not to feel inundated with claims that our food is “all-natural” or “chemical-free” or that we should buy certain “superfoods” for their health benefits. We read labels and trust that the product we are buying is what we are truly...

A rising star in food allergen research: proteomics of shellfish allergen by SCIEX Community | Blogs, Food / Beverage, Life Science Research, ProteomicsIt’s important to know what you’re eating, especially if you suffer from a food allergy. About 220 million people worldwide live with a food allergy.1 These numbers, along with the complexity and severity of conditions, continue to rise. In America, there are about 32 million food allergy sufferers—5.6 million of those are children under the age of 18.2.2 That’s 1 out of every 13 children, or about 2 in every classroom. From a financial perspective, the cost of food allergy childcare for US families is up to $25 billion
Using Mass Spectrometry for Down Syndrome Metabolomic Research by SCIEX Community | Blogs, Life Science Research, MetabolomicsLast week we launched a really interesting research project with Jeff Miller, Senior SCIEX Scientist, using a SCIEX QTRAP® 6500 mass spectrometer. Our plan was to test whether acetaminophen is metabolized differently in people with Down Syndrome (our younger brother William has Down Syndrome).
