Developing an LC-MS-MS spectra library of drugs
The Institute of Toxicology in the Clinical Toxicology and Poison Information Centre Berlin (BBGes) and Geneva Bioinformatics (GeneBio) have announced a collaboration to create a new spectral library taking advantage of high mass accuracy data.
The Institute of Toxicology in the Clinical Toxicology and Poison Information Centre Berlin (BBGes) and Geneva Bioinformatics (GeneBio) have announced a collaboration to create a new spectral library taking advantage of high mass accuracy data.
The project aims to create a dedicated MS–MS spectra library of small molecules generated by the QSTAR instrument from AB SCIEX as part of an automated on-line SPE-LC-QqTOF system. According to the company, they will use GeneBio’s SmileMS to optimize the identification of drugs, poisons and toxins with their metabolites from data acquired on the QqTOF instrument.
"SmileMS is perfect for screening the data generated on the XLC-QqTOF system. With its sophisticated and intelligent data analysis and management, the software generates a comprehensive report of the compounds, which it has identified," commented Dr Grobosch.

Altering Capillary Gas Chromatography Systems Using Silicon Pneumatic Microvalves
May 5th 2025Many multi-column gas chromatography systems use two-position multi-port switching valves, which can suffer from delays in valve switching. Shimadzu researchers aimed to create a new sampling and switching module for these systems.
Studying Cyclodextrins with UHPLC-MS/MS
May 5th 2025Saba Aslani from the University of Texas at Arlington spoke to LCGC International about a collaborative project with Northwestern University, the University of Hong Kong, and BioTools, Inc., investigating mirror-image cyclodextrins using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) and vibrational circular dichroism (VCD).
