SCIEX 6500+ Triple Quad LC-MS/MS with Shimadzu Nexera UHPLC high-sensitivity, ultra-fast LC-MS/MS system for pharmaceutical bioanalysis, food safety, clinical toxicology, and environmental testing.

Key Features:

  • Ultra-Sensitive Quantitation: SCIEX 6500+ achieves sub-femtogram detection limits, making it one of the most sensitive triple quadrupole systems available.

  • Shimadzu Nexera UHPLC Front-End: Delivers ultra-fast gradients, high reproducibility, and peak resolution, with pressure tolerance up to 1,300 bar.

  • OptiFlow® and Turbo V™ Source: Supports both standard-flow and microflow LC workflows, ensuring maximum flexibility.

  • SelexION® Technology (optional): Adds differential ion mobility to reduce matrix interferences and enhance selectivity.

  • Rapid Polarity Switching: <5 ms switching allows simultaneous monitoring of positive and negative ions.

  • High-Speed MRM Acquisition: Up to 5,000 MRM transitions/sec for multiplexed assays with no compromise on sensitivity.

  • Dynamic Range: Spans 6+ orders of magnitude, enabling both trace-level and high-abundance compound analysis.

  • Robust Design: LINAC® collision cell minimizes crosstalk and enhances reproducibility in complex biological or food matrices.

  • Regulatory-Ready: Fully compliant with 21 CFR Part 11, GLP, and GMP laboratory standards.

  • Software Ecosystem: SCIEX OS and Analyst® Software for advanced acquisition, processing, and reporting.


Applications:

  • Pharmaceutical & Biopharma: Pharmacokinetics, drug metabolism (DMPK), impurity analysis, and bioequivalence studies.

  • CRO Bioanalysis: High-throughput regulated LC-MS/MS workflows for clinical trial support.

  • Food Safety & Agriculture: Ultra-trace detection of pesticides, mycotoxins, veterinary drugs, and contaminants.

  • Environmental Analysis: Monitoring of trace pollutants, pharmaceuticals, and emerging contaminants in complex matrices.

  • Clinical & Forensic Research: Therapeutic drug monitoring, forensic toxicology, and clinical pharmacology assays.

  • Targeted Omics: Metabolomics and lipidomics requiring extreme sensitivity and robustness.
