High-Throughput Mass Spectrometry: Direct Acoustic Ionization for Sub-Second Sample Processing
18 Dec 2017A customized Labcyte Echo acoustic liquid handler ejects charged droplets directly from a 384-well assay plate into a custom transfer interface. This poster presents a biochemical labelled assay modified to run on Echo-MS at speeds of 3 samples per second, eliminating the LC separation step and allowing for real-time assay development for label-free high-throughput screening.

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.

High-Throughput ScreeningHigh-throughput screening (HTS) is an automated drug discovery technique for identification of active compounds against a compound library. Use HTS readers and integrated assay preparation / analysis workstations to screen your compounds. Identify active compounds against various HTS libraries, including membranes, proteins and peptides and HTS cell lines.

This parallelization reduces the cost per experiment and increases reproducibility and output volume of data.Assay DevelopmentThe process of proving an assay to be sensitive with respect to the target is known as assay development. The assay should be able to characterize novel compounds and measure the potency of these compounds against a validated biological target.
