Using SelexION™ Differential Mobility Separation Technology for better selectivity for peptides in complex mixtures on the AB SCIEX Triple Quad™ 5500 LC/MS/MS System
Key scientific challenges of peptide quant assays
- Reduced recovery, low sensitivity – The adsorptive properties and/or polarity of peptides can compromise recovery, and interferences from biological matrices can negatively impact sensitivity and selectivity.
- Limited quantitation range – Poor MS/MS sensitivity combined with often poor selectivity can compromise the desired lower limits of quantitation (LLOQ).
- Limited MRM selectivity – MRM approaches and efficient UHPLC separations may not provide adequate signal-to-noise ratios at LLOQ due to isobaric interferences or high baseline noise.
