Set a New Standard for System Suitability Testing
Why use a generic performance measure when your workflow is specific?
Most LC-MS performance testing methods are developed based on generic laboratory conditions.
SCIEX Essential LC-MS Performance Kits are an all-in-one testing solution aligned to your everyday assays. Kits are available for the following quantitative workflows:
- Food & Environmental Testing (Pesticides)
- Clinical Toxicology
- Peptide Quantitation
- Small Molecule Quantitation (Pharma)
With these kits, test your system for:
- Compound-specific chemistries, so you know your results are representative of real-world performance
- HPLC column from Phenomenex for your sample type, to ensure your LC is separating properly
- Step-by-step protocol to set up your instrument, easily run the test and assess the results
- Kit methods scan in both positive and negative MRM modes to best reflect your workflow

LC-MS System Quality Control
Quantitative Performance and Reproducibility Monitoring
Maximize System Performance
Essential performance kits are designed, tested and manufactured for reliability to consistently deliver quantitative results that meet analytical quality standards.
Triple Quad Systems
The highest levels of selectivity and sensitivity for targeted MRM (multiple reaction monitoring) LC-MS/MS analysis.
QTRAP® Systems
Significantly bolster your confidence in your mass spec data. QTRAP technology is a triple quad system like no other, with all the performance of a triple quad but added functionality to overcome matrix interferences, increase screening throughput, and more.
ExionLC™ Shimadzu HPLC systems
Speed, sensitivity, resolution, and reliability that you need for routine or complex LC-MS analysis.
