AB SCIEX has been launched as a new company dedicated to life science analytical technologies. The new company is formed from the combination of the two halves of the AB SCIEX mass spectrometry joint venture.
“This integrated company will be able to shape the future of mass spectrometry in ways far greater than what we have already achieved,” said Laura Lauman, the company’s president, in a statement. According to Lauman, bringing the former joint venture together will enable the company to “keep pace with the dynamic needs of the life science industry.”
The company provides instrumentation, software and services used in a number of life science applications, including drug discovery and development, disease studies and food and environmental safety. These include integrated LC–MS–MS platforms for small molecule analysis, contaminant identification and biomarker validation, as well as MALDI TOF/TOF systems for protein biomarker discovery.

Getting accurate IR spectra on monolayer of molecules
April 18th 2024Creating uniform and repeatable monolayers is incredibly important for both scientific pursuits as well as the manufacturing of products in semiconductor, biotechnology, and. other industries. However, measuring monolayers and functionalized surfaces directly is. difficult, and many rely on a variety of characterization techniques that when used together can provide some degree of confidence. By combining non-contact atomic force microscopy (AFM) and IR spectroscopy, IR PiFM provides sensitive and accurate analysis of sub-monolayer of molecules without the concern of tip-sample cross contamination. Dr. Sung Park, Molecular Vista, joined Spectroscopy to provide insights on how IR PiFM can acquire IR signature of monolayer films due to its unique implementation.
