Mass Spectrometry
LC-MS Analysis
Mass spectrometry for trace detection, impurity characterization, unknown profiling, and high-confidence analytical investigations.
Finding the right fit
Method fit and use cases
Impurity profiling
Best when chromatographic peaks need mass-based characterization.
Unknown identification
Useful for candidate formulas, library searching, and confirmatory workflows.
Root cause support
Helps characterize contaminants, degradants, and process byproducts.
Your next step
What you receive
Mass evidence
Accurate mass, fragmentation observations, and candidate rationale.
Profile summary
Compound profile, relative abundance context, and comparison notes where applicable.
Next-step guidance
Recommendations for standards, orthogonal confirmation, or follow-up methods.
Planning your project
A scope that fits
your requirements.
Explore the details, or talk with us about your sample. We confirm methods, documentation, and timing before testing begins.
Review Quality StatusSample and matrix fit
Prepared extracts
Formulation, process, environmental, and botanical extracts when compatible with LC-MS.
Trace targets
Impurities, degradants, contaminants, and low-level residues.
Unknown peaks
Fractions, retained samples, or HPLC-observed peaks needing mass evidence.
Timing and turnaround
Standard turnaround
5–10 business days for most analyses.
Expedited QC packages
As fast as 24 hours when method, matrix, and capacity allow.
Rush service
Quoted case-by-case, subject to method fit, sample receipt, and lab availability.
