Commonly known as Sciex, AB Sciex Pte. Ltd. develops "solutions in mass spectrometry paired with capillary electrophoresis and liquid chromatography."[1] The company markets some of its solutions for cannabis lab testing, including[2]:

  • potency testing

Instruments and methods

Triple Quad systems

Sciex offers four different Triple Quad systems for tandem mass spectrometry paired with liquid chromatography (LC-MS/MS): the 6500+, 5500, 4500, and 3500. The company claims that with these systems "scientists can acquire multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), precursor, neutral loss, and product ion scans to develop powerful methods for complex matrices, all while maintaining reproducibility and robustness."[3]

QTRAP systems

Sciex also offers three different Triple Quad Linear Ion Traps (QTRAP) systems for LC-MS/MS: the 6500+, 5500, and 4500. The company states that these are similar to the Triple Quad systems "but with enhanced scan functions to enable simultaneous quantitation and confirmation."[4]

vMethod for Cannabis

Sciex also offers a "vMethod," a quantitation method for pesticide and cannabinoid analysis, that works on many of their LC-MS/MS systems.[5]
