QC Reporter runs on Axima Maldi mass spectrometer

The QC Reporter software from Shimadzu Scientific Instruments is claimed to meet the needs of modern chemical manufacturing facilities by providing a solution for mass spectrometric quality control.

QC Reporter is a fully automated platform designed for the high-throughput quality control of synthetic products using the Axima Maldi TOF MS.

It operates on a newly developed software platform called Maldi Solutions.

Written in close collaboration with customers, this application-specific software was designed with the actual QC workflow in mind.

It facilitates the whole process from the preparation bench to the final reporting.

With the QC Reporter software running on an Axima Maldi mass spectrometer, a number of independent samples can be lined up for automatic analysis on a single plate.

The analysis of each individual sample is quick, making this solution ideal for high-throughput laboratories.

The running costs of Maldi analysis are said to be very low, while a large variety of samples can be run choosing the right combination of matrix and ionic charge modes.

The software user interface is designed to only display relevant information and functions to the task being performed and to provide an intuitive user experience with a quick learning curve to end users.

The software runs on Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows XP Professional or Windows Server 2003 and uses SQL Server 2008.

According to the company, Maldi makes for simple spectral interpretation with singly charged peaks, has good relative quantification reproducibility and has very low probability of producing false positive results.
