Reaction screening and purification are essential steps in small molecule pharmaceutical discovery labs. Cleaner samples for subsequent synthesis can reduce reaction by-products and facilitate the critical final purification of material for pharmaceutical profiling and toxicology studies.

Design for atmospheric pressure ionization sources came of age in the late 1980s to provide a powerful analytical tool—the mass spectrometer —the ability to characterize analytes amenable to liquid chromatography as gas-phase ions removed from the liquid. The motivating force behind such invention has always been the need to answer questions better and faster with tools that provide greater utility.
