As laboratories look for ways to save time and money, some enterprising scientists have devised a way to do both in their work. Lance Heinle and Gary Jenkins, drug-development scientists at Abbott Laboratories (Abbott Park, IL), have created a high-throughput LC-MS-MS system using instrumentation already in place in their laboratory.

Establishing credibility and reliability of the information provided by a Fourier transform–infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer is paramount to mitigating risk in the QA/QC laboratory, where simple, fast and error-free analysis of unknown materials or material verification are required. To meet the demands of a modern QA/QC laboratory, FT-IR spectrometers must include capabilities that shift the burden of proving the reliability of the information away from the analyst so they can concentrate on the sample, not on verifying the integrity of the data. Recent design advances in both FT-IR spectrometer hardware and software give users greater confidence by continually reporting instrument status and performance verification, efficiently and effectively running pass–fail tests against specification, and easily adjusting to the degree of variation in a given set of products.
