produc Solutions for increased throughput Innovations for higher levels of automation. System versatility Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX continues to lead the industry in technology innovations. Our API 3000 system combines superior hardware with flexible software applications that allow you to generate more results in less time. Our patented LINAC collision cell significantly increases sensitivity with greatly reduced dwell times, eliminating cross-talk from background material. Using the LINAC collision cell, you can run n-in-one experiments and analyze multiple components simultaneously. The result: measurably increased lab productivity. Application flexibility Analyst software can be expanded with advanced automated applications Automaton, Information Dependent Acquisition (IDA), and Metabolite ID to extend system functionality for early DMPK screening in drug discovery. The Automaton application performs automated, unattended quantitative analysis of in vivo and in vitro samples from drug discovery and development experiments. Automaton streamlines the process by automating method development, acquisition, and data processing of a set of target compounds.

Software applications tivity for accelerated discovery The Information Dependent Acquisition (IDA) application for Analyst software maximizes the information generated in a single LC/MS run. Using IDA with triple quadrupole systems, you can achieve unprecedented selectivity of candidate ion species with precursor ion and neutral loss scan functions. Simple user interfaces allow you to rapidly select specific mass and retention time (SMART) filters and mass inclusion lists, which can further increase the information yield of an LC/MS/MS run. The Metabolite ID software application automates metabolite profiling, saving time and increasing sample throughput. Predefined common metabolite transformations, as well as user-defined transformations, are screened during the acquisition of an initial LC/MS run. A subsequent run is automatically generated to provide LC/MS/MS structural information on the metabolites found in the screen. The API 3000 system using Analyst software also supports integrated control of a variety of LC platforms for greater system flexibility and productivity. Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX commitment to ongoing product development is demonstrated through our constant innovation of LC/MS technology.
