Product news

BIOCIUS will launch its newest RapidFire instrument for drug discovery, the RF360. The RF360 platform, combined with Agilent's Time-Of-Flight (TOF) accurate mass spec eliminates the MRM method development step for high-throughput, label-free screening of ADME assays. Visit BIOCIUS in booth 67, and see the new RF360 in the evenings in hospitality suite 251A.

Celebrate the launch with BIOCIUS in hospitality suite 251A from 8pm-11pm each night during the conference. You'll get to see the new RF360 instrument and enjoy some food, foosball, fun and prizes. Also at ASMS, RapidFire Users will give talks (Monday morning) and present posters (Tuesday and Thursday) where the instrument is shown to increase efficiencies and eliminate bottlenecks for in vitro ADME analysis. Data will also be presented that compares RapidFire/MS, which uses solid phase extraction technology, and LC/MS.

LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis. Find the best LC-MS equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place.
