Understanding sample complexity

Some challenges for quantitative methods are:

• I am calculating compound concentrations in addition to the detection of unexpected contaminants.
• Characterization of the background matrix for every sample, increasing data quality.
• Detection of analytes not in a targeted multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) screening method.
• We are improving method development by discovering more matrix components.

These challenges may be overcome by using RADAR, which is simultaneously obtaining full scan (MS) and MRM (MS/MS) data.

Product Ion Confirmation scanning (PICS) gives you complete confidence in your results. Activated by a single check box in the method editor, PICS automatically triggers a product ion scan when MRM detects a peak.
