Questions and answers to help improve your mycotoxin analysis by Michael Zellmann | 0 CommentsDuring a recent webinar I shared method details for mycotoxin analysis on the SCIEX 7500 system. In this blog i will share the Q&A for the submitted questions that we did not have chance to answer during the live webinar.
Methods for OPI electrode cleaning for Echo® MS system electrodes by Christie Hunter | 1 CommentDepending on the samples you are running on the system, it is possible for the Open Port Interface (OPI) electrode to become dirty or occluded over time. Below are two different cleaning strategies that can help you maintain your Echo® MS system and keep your OPI...
Selecting the mobile phase for your assay and optimizing flow rates by Mackenzie Pearson | 0 CommentsTo obtain the best, most reproducible results with Echo MS system, it is important both to select the best solvent for your analyte and matrix and to ensure the flow rate is optimized for your solvent. Considerations for solvent selection: The Echo MS system is...
High level method optimization considerations for Echo MS system by Mackenzie Pearson | 1 CommentWhile an in-depth discussion of method development and optimization for the Echo® MS system is beyond the scope of a community post, here are some points to consider as part of the process: The maximum recommended ion spray voltage for prolonged electrode life is 5000...

Tips to maximize electrode lifetime for Echo MS system by Mackenzie Pearson | Biopharma, Data acquisition, Echo MS, Environmental / Industrial, Food / Beverage, Instrument maintenance, Life Science Research, Pharma, SCIEX information, TechnologyWhile it’s easy to think of the Echo® MS system as an ultrafast LC system in front of the SCIEX Triple Quad 6500+ mass spectrometer, the system operates on fundamentally different principles. For this reason, it requires different routine maintenance to keep it...
Echo MS system maintenance operations by Rolf Kern | Biopharma, Echo MS, Environmental / Industrial, Food / Beverage, Instrument maintenance, Life Science Research, Pharma, SCIEX information, TechnologyThe Echo® MS system is a robust platform, and like any other platform, requires some routine maintenance on a regular basis. Here are 3 maintenance steps that can help you ensure consistent, reliable performance: Immediately before use or after switching carrier...
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...
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
