SCIEX has announced a new collaboration with HighRes Biosolutions, a company specializing in laboratory automation. Cellario™ software from HighRes Biosolutions adds automation benefits to the Echo® MS system, built on Acoustic Ejection Mass Spectrometry technology from SCIEX. This combined offering aims to provide comprehensive and customizable workflows for high-throughput screening, HT-ADME and synthetic biology studies.

Cellario integrates all the devices and software within a laboratory, enabling scientists to customize and implement the best possible technologies to produce data and execute their work. It provides a single connection point for all data integration needs in a lab, meaning the lab’s asset base can grow without increasing in complexity. Customers with Cellario can connect to the Echo MS system and data collection software to help seamlessly manage large amounts of sample handling and analysis.

“The Echo MS system was built with flexibility in mind and meant to bolt on to any existing automation platform,” said Jose Castro-Perez, Senior Director of Market Development at SCIEX. “Our customers tell us that there is a need to incorporate more automation either fit for purpose or customizable to specific workflow needs. This collaboration provides the customizability and ability that customers seek.”

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.
