5 Reasons to Choose the Echo? MS system for high-throughput drug discovery

Written by Kirsten Craven, Senior Global Marketing Manager for Pharma global strategic marketing at SCIEX

Have you thought about introducing new technology into your high-throughput drug discovery lab? Here are 5 reasons the Echo? MS system could make a difference for you.

1. Increased sample throughput

While a traditional fast LC-MS/MS run can take nearly 10 hours per plate, a 384-well plate of samples can take approximately 8 minutes per plate with the Echo? MS system. This means that study data can be available on the day samples are prepared and with the reliability of MS/MS.

2. Reduced carryover

Moving away from LC-MS/MS eliminates the challenge of potential carryover. Acoustic Droplet Ejection technology removes the need for physical contact between the autosampler needle and the sample.

3. Method sensitivity

Detection levels in the low nanomolar range are typically required in a high-throughput drug discovery lab and are readily achieved by the Echo? MS system.

4. Sample preparation savings

Simply prepare the samples in an appropriate solvent and load them into a?qualified microplate. Only 2.5 nL of precious sample is required for each analysis.

5. Data accuracy

The Echo? MS system uses the trusted SCIEX Triple Quad 6500+ mass spectrometer to provide excellent Z’ values with MS/MS reliability.
