Transcend System Bioanalytical Assays The fast-paced nature of drug discoery a process streamlined to discoer the next blockbuster drug has sparked the need for rapid sample preparation, traditionally the bottleneck in the discoery workflow. Effectie sample preparation is essential to minimize matrix effects and to obtain accurate analytical data so that scientists and researchers can make the right decision. Matrix effect occurs when factors other than target analyte concentration affect electrospray ionization (ESI) response. This harmful effect can compromise or inalidate data. It might een result in selecting drug candidates based on erroneous data. The Transcend system has two critical benefits: fast and effectie online sample preparation that improes confidence of results and multiplexing for increased productiity without compromising data quality. TurboFlow technology enables users to directly inject biological samples into the LC/MS system prior to analysis, a significant adantage in small molecule quantitation during drug research.

Food Safety Accurately monitoring chemical residue leels in food and agricultural products is essential to food supply safety and managing global health risks. The analysis of chemical residues requires techniques sensitie enough to detect and quantify contaminants at or below the maximum residue limit (MRL) in a gien sample matrix. In addition, because of increased food safety regulations and the growing number of samples to be analyzed, the analytical methods must proide high sample throughput. TurboFlow technology proides reliable sample analysis of chemical residues in food. Online sample preparation with the Transcend system and analysis with LC/MS can reduce oerall analytical time compared to traditional offline methods, such as liquid-liquid or solid phase extraction. In addition, this unique process can minimize ion suppression and matrix interference in the LC/MS analysis of food samples. Add to this the multiplexing feature, and you can further increase sample throughput and efficiency in your laboratory without compromising data quality or sensitiity.
