Improved Pharma Announces New High-Resolution Accurate Mass Spectrometry (LC-HRAMS) Capabilities (SCIEX 6600 TripleTOF)

This acquisition allows versatile analyses of pharmaceutical drug substances and drug products for both small molecules and large biologics.

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind., Feb. 27, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Liquid chromatography coupled with High-Resolution Accurate Mass Spectrometry (LC-HRAMS) is a powerful and flexible technique for the analyses of pharmaceutical drug substances and drug products. The technique separates and identifies analytes based on their retention times, mass-to-charge ratios, and parent ion fragmentation patterns. LC-HRAMS allows for the confident identification and quantitation of small molecule compounds, as well as large biologic molecules and polymers. Tandem HRAMS (MS/MS) is particularly useful for characterization and structural elucidation of unknown compounds in complex matrices, as well as the sequencing of proteins and peptides.

Improved Pharma has installed and operationally qualified a SCIEX TripleTOF^® 6600 coupled to a SCIEX Exigent UHPLC system with UV detection. This system is a classic QTOF configuration comprised of a quadrupole mass filter collision cell, and Time of Flight mass filter. The TripleTOF^® 6600 platform is equipped with ESI, APCI, and nano-spray ion sources, as well as an optional SelexION ion mobility stage. This instrument merges the very high resolving power of a Time of Flight (TOF) mass spectrometer with the high selectivity offered by MS/MS. The system is also sensitive enough for quantitative analyses of impurities or degradants at trace levels (ppm to ppb).
