Software

It all starts with reliable, fast processing

SCIEX OS software

SCIEX OS software simplifies food analysis by integrating data acquisition, processing, and reporting into a single, intuitive platform. It supports both targeted and non-targeted screening workflows, enabling accurate detection of contaminants like PFAS, mycotoxins, and adulterants in complex food matrices. With features like automated flagging, custom calculations, and compatibility with high-resolution mass spectrometry systems, it enhances productivity and regulatory compliance in food safety labs.

Targeted food quantitation for routine and regulatory workflows

The SCIEX Triple Quad systems are available as a QTRAP; 5500+ system, 6500+ system, 7500+ system offering enhanced product ion scans (EPI) for library confirmation.

SCIEX 7500+ system

The system provides unparalleled detection limits for food residue quantitation, such as pesticides, mycotoxins, and veterinary drug residues. It is engineered to sustain remarkable sensitivity, even with the most unrefined and intricate samples. Equipped with the OptiFlow Pro ion source, it reduces numerous sample preparation steps, making it highly efficient in processing dirty extracts.

SCIEX 6500+ system

This system delivers outstanding power and sensitivity, reducing the need for certain cleanup steps when handling challenging matrices. The IonDrive Turbo V ion source provides the robustness to manage samples across your testing catalog.

SCIEX 5500+ system

An essential instrument in many food laboratories worldwide, supporting production and research activities. The Turbo V ion source effectively addresses the matrix challenges posed by sample extracts. This system can handle large analyte panels in a single run, ensuring compliance with MRL regulatory standards.

SCIEX Triple Quad 4500 system

This system is celebrated for its consistent performance and ability to handle challenging matrices. Its Turbo V Ion source and curtain gas flow help focus and direct ions into the mass spectrometer while filtering out unwanted species, allowing food testing labs to meet throughput demands and compliance standards with ease. This tried and tested solution ensures accurate results, reduced contamination, and higher uptime in detecting residues in food labs.

Non-targeted screening and identification of emerging food compounds

ZenoTOF 8600 system

Tha latest high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) platform, designed to deliver 10x greater sensitivity. It combines Zeno trap-enabled workflows with Electron Activated Dissociation (EAD) and Collision-Induced Dissociation (CID) fragmentation modes, enabling both quantitative and structural routine food safety testing

ZenoTOF 7600+ system

A high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) enhancing food testing by enabling high-sensitivity, non-targeted analysis for detecting contaminants, adulterants, and packaging-related compounds. It supports advanced workflows like PFAS screening and proteomic characterisation, helping labs meet evolving global food safety regulations with speed and precision.

X500R QTOF system

Built specifically to balance robust performance with triple-quad-like quantitation. It enables users to employ SWATH data-independent acquisition (DIA), facilitating the screening of unknown, untargeted, and unwanted analytes in food residue analysis. The data is cross-referenced with specialized libraries, ensuring confident result verification.

Columns and consumables

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) tubes

The tubes are designed to isolate and concentrate target compounds from complex food matrices. This enhances sensitivity and accuracy in food safety and quality testing workflows. These tubes are trusted for their reliability and compatibility with regulatory methods, streamlining sample prep and delivering consistent, high-quality results.

HPLC columns

Phenomenex offers a robust portfolio of HPLC and UHPLC columns tailored for food safety, quality, and authenticity testing. These columns are designed to handle complex food matrices and support high-throughput workflows with excellent resolution, reproducibility, and efficiency.

Sample prep and accessories

Phenomenex provides sample prep tools such as roQ QuEChERS kits, Strata SPE columns, and Phenex syringe filters to support contaminant extraction and filtration in food testing workflows. Accessories such as vacuum manifolds, pressure plates, and sealing mats enhance precision and efficiency across LC-MS and GC-MS applications.

Service and support

SCIEX service

Keep your lab running smoothly. Unscheduled instrument downtime can significantly impact productivity, turnaround times, and potential commercial revenues in any mycotoxin testing laboratory. To minimize the risk of unexpected downtime and prevent analysis backlogs, a comprehensive service plan from SCIEX provides the protection and reassurance needed to maintain and maximize the potential of  your SCIEX system.
