SCIEX lately attended ASMS 2024. What had been the highlights of the convention and what had been you excited to announce while there?
Chris Lock: You possibly can really feel an power this yr paying homage to pre-pandemic instances. Attendees sought connection and actually wished to know how new improvements will assist them be quicker and produce higher insights and likewise talk about with us how they count on their future must evolve.
If in case you have been to ASMS, you recognize that nighttime hospitality suites are filled with enjoyable, participating actions. SCIEX showcased our Quant Continuum sequence—three brief movies masking our launches performed all through the evening and engaged the group by means of reactive wristbands.
Jose Castro-Perez: We additionally had 3 thrilling bulletins this yr at ASMS. You possibly can learn the bulletins in full right here:
- The launch of the SCIEX 7500+ system, the latest mass spectrometer within the SCIEX quantitative portfolio, constructing upon a legacy of dependable, delicate quantitation.
- The introduction of ZT Scan DIA, our subsequent era in data-independent acquisition (DIA), delivering the depth of protection attribute of DIA approaches however with the precision, sensitivity and selectivity of focused quantitative workflows.
- A collaboration between SCIEX and Mass Analytica on synthetic intelligence quantitation (AI quant) software program to course of knowledge and produce insights in a matter of moments.

SCIEX launched the SCIEX 7500+ system while at ASMS. Are you able to clarify the important thing options of the brand new mass spectrometer system and the way it builds upon earlier fashions within the SCIEX quantitative portfolio?
Chris Lock: By way of buyer collaborations, we all know that they want outcomes quicker whereas additionally guaranteeing better system resilience, even with essentially the most difficult pattern sorts like hashish, cosmetics, meals, or plasma. The SCIEX 7500+ system builds on the prevailing robustness and reliability of the SCIEX 7500 system and has enhancements to extend uptime whereas sustaining sensitivity.
- Mass Guard know-how is a brand new proprietary know-how that features the power to actively filters out doubtlessly contaminating ions. It reduces the chance and frequency of instrument contamination, serving to to take care of the very best sensitivity for as much as 2X as lengthy in comparison with present SCIEX know-how, notably when working advanced matrices.
- DJet+ meeting is totally detachable, permitting front-end serviceability so prospects can maximize the uptime of their programs.
- At 800 MRM per second, the SCIEX 7500+ system is the quickest SCIEX Triple Quad to this point. This will increase the scope for giant quantitation panels that want to include new compounds of curiosity, enhancing the general productiveness of the lab.
- Supported by new performance in SCIEX OS that enables customers to trace instrument efficiency and automate choice making, lowering the potential for failed batches and repeat measurements.
- Compatibility with dry roughing pumps can cut back electrical energy consumption by 24% relative to oil-sealed pumps.”
Extracts from SCIEX Press Releases at ASMS 2024
With the power to course of 800 MRM per second, the SCIEX 7500+ system is the quickest Triple Quad from SCIEX. How does this velocity profit giant quantitation panels and lab productiveness?
Jose Castro-Perez: For pattern units which have numerous analytes being analyzed, a single LC/MS-MS pattern injection can be utilized as an alternative of a number of sub-sequent injections. This can even tackle velocity in technique growth for bigger panels.
SCIEX has additionally collaborated with Mass Analytica to current AI quantitation software program. Are you able to inform us extra in regards to the software program, its advantages, and the way it can course of knowledge from the SCIEX 7500+ system?
Jose Castro-Perez: As knowledge is generated at document speeds, the connective tissue stays how this knowledge can be processed for scientists to make real-time selections. The AI quantitative software program from this collaboration can produce insights rapidly and enhance productiveness.
Amongst its many options is an AI-powered MRM transition prediction mannequin for triple quad programs such because the SCIEX 7500+ system. The predictor might be educated with consumer knowledge to enhance its accuracy. This characteristic saves time and assets by lowering the need for compound infusions and situation optimizations.
