LC/MS Multiplexing

In a typical drug development cycle, the number of candidates that need to be tested in early stages can be in the thousands. The ability to quickly determine the active members of a drug class under investigation can have a great effect on the time spent in development. Having the right tools to select hits and eliminate misses can save days, weeks or even months in the effort to deliver new therapeutics.

Newly developed Nexera QX and associated QX Solutions software provides an automated single point of control for up to 4 UHPLC streams and the mass spectrometer for a multiplexed workflow. QX Solution simplifies valve switching, gradient control and injection timing and can execute automatic flushing from dedicated pumps to reduce autosampler and column carryover to a minimum. Specifically designed for the high-throughput laboratory, the system features the easy import of spreadsheet sample batches.

Shimadzu is known for providing rugged, clean, and fast autosampler solutions for even the most demanding UHPLC analysis. No matter the scale of your throughput needs, we have an autosampler solution to fit your LC or LC-MS workflow. Our Nexera Plate Changer has the flexibility to accommodate up to 14 micro-titer plates (MTP) per unit, with up to three units being connected to a single autosampler for a 44-plate total capacity.
