power and advanced technology for powerful data processing With Analyst software, the API 15EX system is easier to use than ever before. Now, the power of mass spectrometry is available to all LC/MS users, novice and expert.the superior selectivity and specificity of MS detection accelerates assay development and decreases analysis time. Analyst software is a PC-based Windows NT package for Applied Biosystems/ MDS SCIEX LC/MS systems. It is designed to provide full control of data acquisition, integrated control of LC peripherals, and powerful data manipulation capabilities. While the API 15EX system can rapidly analyze some compounds using flow injection analysis (FIA), it can interface with various HPLC systems to analyze complex mixtures. Analyses can also be performed using collision induced dissociation (CID) to produce characteristic fragment ions revealing the chemical structure of molecules. The system can also obtain molecular weight and structural information in a single analysis, using powerful mixed mode analyses saving time and conserving valuable samples. Laboratory analysts will appreciate how quickly and accurately the API 15EX system screens for expected molecular weight over a wide analyte concentration range. Routine analysis and method development time is reduced, allowing for increased productivity. The API 15EX system is a rugged and reliable system that offers unrivaled sensitivity and quantitative linearity.this easy to use system accommodates a wide variety of quantitative assays.
