Software accelerates screening for contaminants and illicit drugs

SCIENTISTS and lab technicians can now screen hundreds of samples for hundreds of potential contaminants and residues, using customised compound libraries, thanks to a new software application from AB Sciex. LibraryView, when  coupled with QTrap and TripleTof mass spectrometry technologies,…

Nanochromatography to boost proteomics research

SAID to be the world’s first liquid chromatography system that integrates nano LC and micro LC on the same platform, the Eksigent Ekspert nanoLC 400 from AB Sciex claims a range of benefits. Being capable of switching between nano and…

A mass of mass spectrometers

WE’RE not quite sure what the collective noun is for mass spectrometers, but we’re pretty sure they could use one down at AB Sciex’s headquarters. Coming hard on the heels of recent announcements of new ‘workhorse’ instruments the 4500 and…

Workhorse mass spectrometer makes TripleTof technology routine

AB SCIEX describes its new TripleTof 4600, unveiled today at the AOHUPO conference in Beijing, as a workhorse instrument which brings groundbreaking TripleTof technology to routine analysis. TripleTof (Tof meaning time-of-flight) is the company’s platform for simultaneous qualitative and quantitative…

New mass spec proteomics technique is ‘breakthrough’

A ‘GROUNDBREAKING’ new proteomics technique now available quantifies nearly all peptides and proteins in a single analysis, says AB Sciex. The mass spectrometry-based method was published recently in the journal Molecular and Cellular Proteomics. Liquid chromatography with tandem mass spec…

Next-generation mass spec made simpler

IN A BID to boost adoption of its next-generation mass spectrometry technology, AB Sciex has launched a bundled package of instruments plus software, training, standards, and validation services. The Accelerated Lab Integration Package is launched to coincide with the launch…

Lab-on-a-truck makes US tour

YOU’VE heard of lab-on-a-chip, the incorporation of microfluidic circuitry into a sliver of silicon or plastic that promises to do to chemistry what transistors and integrated circuits did for electronics. At the other end of the scale we now have…

First verified food allergen test by mass spec

WHAT IS said to be the world’s first commercial mass spectrometry method to detect and measure allergens in food has been launched by AB Sciex. The new Allergen iMethod application enables food testing labs to screen for egg and milk…
