Spark launches new Symbiosis™ Pharma for Xcalibur software

15 Apr 2007

Product news

With the introduction of new Symbiosis™ Pharma for Xcalibur software Spark has concluded her mission in fully integrating their Symbiosis™ Pharma System in the software control of the three main MS vendors.

Two years ago Spark introduced the full software integration of the Symbiosis™ Pharma system in the Analyst software, followed by an introduction of Symbiosis™ Pharma for MassLynx last year.

The Symbiosis™ Pharma for Xcalibur enables you to control the Symbiosis™ Pharma system, a high throughput pharmaceutical XLC-MS system for direct injection of raw biological samples. Symbiosis™ Pharma for Xcalibur allows you to enter configuration settings and to create method files for the system. After you have created one or more method files, you can use the method(s) in an Xcalibur sequence.

Upgrade your current Symbiosis™ System.
4 good reasons why should you upgrade from SprakLink to the new Symbiosis™ Pharma for Xcalibur:
1. Full control of your MS and sample preparation from one software pack.
2. Symbiosis™ Pharma and MS always fully synchronized
3. MS result files now also contain sample prep parameters.
4. Same traceability and security features as in Xcalibur software for total system

Please note that this software is able to control only symbiosis™ pharma systems, all other system configurations of Symbiois™ are not supported.

To upgrade your current Symbiosis™ pharma system you need to order part number 0930.751 at your local spark distributor or spark representative

Symbiosis™ Pharma

Spark System Solutions B.V.

Symbiosis™ Pharma is Spark Holland's unique solution for integrated online SPE-LC-MS automation (XLC-MS). The heart of the matter in XLC-MS, is where the autosampler injects at a controlled temperature, raw bio-fluids directly on a fresh disposable SPE cartridge. The small particle sorbent assures a clean extract, a very high sensitivity and reliable results. Online elution to the LC-MS cuts the number of sample prep steps in half. Thereby sample prep runs simultaneously with LC, virtually removing sample prep time from the process in its entirety. This dedicated high throughput pharmaceutical system is the best tool for direct injection of raw biological samples.

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.Data AnalysisData analysis hardware and software is available to make data processing straight-forward yet powerful. Data software can be used for math and stats, technical graphing and image analysis. In addition, software is available for specific data analysis of electrophoresis, densitometry, ELISA and DNA sequencing.Solid-Phase ExtractionSolid-phase extraction (SPE) is used for clean-up, extraction and concentration of semi-volatile or non-volatile analytes from complex mixtures including blood, urine and food samples. Multiple formats are available for conducting SPE, including prepacked SPE cartridges, disks and microplates, as well as SPE sorbent powders for manual packing. SPE systems can be used to automate the process and extract multiple samples at once. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and supported liquid extraction (SLE) products are also available in the same formats.
