New Tools provide Fast and Accurate LC/MS/MS at a Lower Cost

Automation, ease of use and balancing capabilities with lower cost are at the top of the list of priorities for laboratory technicians in search of faster, more accurate answers in applied sciences.

Addressing these priorities in laboratories across applied sciences, AB Sciex unveiled a series of new tools at the American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) conference. They are expected to help advance the increasing ubiquity of mass spectrometry in a wider range of applications and industries. In addition, AB Sciex is working with Beckman Coulter Life Sciences to bring a new level of automation to mass spectrometry workflows.

Mass spectrometry has proven to be transformative for laboratories in the applied markets that, for example, need to eliminate false negatives as well as false positives in compound or contaminant screening. The accuracy, speed and quality of data generated from mass spectrometry workflows are verifiable under the most stringent scrutiny, whether by industry surveillance bodies, government agencies or a court of law. By reducing the complexity and lowering the barriers to adoption of LC/MS, AB Sciex is helping to advance the proliferating use of this technology for scientific analysis.

New tools include: doubling throughput and improving data quality to identify more compounds with a new MPX™ solution; significantly improving the ability to identify known and unknown contaminants with a new software package called MasterView™ Software, featuring automatic compound ID, new comprehensive accurate mass spectral libraries and efficient data review and reporting; expanding the Eksigent LC product portfolio with the new Eksigent® ultraLC 110 system.

New services include: targeted support for labs on a tight budget with the new ‘AB Sciex Connect’ service which will provide immediate phone and online support, backed by guaranteed onsite response times; software maintenance support with the new service called ‘AB Sciex Software Maintenance’ which allows labs to easily choose the software portfolio that best covers their applications; access to a range of self-support tools, including a comprehensive and expanding range of training modules, with the new service called ‘AB Sciex Online’.
