New software automates compound optimization and ADME workflows, helping pharmaceutical scientists move from analysis to confident decisions faster
MARLBOROUGH, Mass.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–SCIEX, a Danaher company and leader in life science analytical technologies, today announced the launch of LeadScape® compatible with SCIEX OS software, a new high-throughput workflow solution that accelerates drug candidate evaluation. Developed by Sound Analytics, the software automates compound optimization and analysis on SCIEX OS software-powered nominal mass LC-MS/MS platforms, helping scientists reach confident decisions more quickly.
Designed for pharmaceutical and contract research organization (CRO) laboratories conducting high-throughput absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) studies, LeadScape helps scientists rapidly screen and evaluate large numbers of compounds while reducing manual method development and data processing tasks. By automating critical workflow steps, the software enables laboratories to accelerate drug candidate evaluation, improve throughput, and make data-driven decisions.
“In drug discovery, the competitive advantage isn’t simply generating more data; it’s turning data into decisions faster,” said Jose Castro-Perez, Ph.D., Vice President of Product Management at SCIEX. “LeadScape compatible with SCIEX OS software helps eliminate workflow bottlenecks that can slow compound evaluation, so scientists can move promising candidates forward with greater speed, consistency, and confidence while leveraging a modern software environment.”
“LeadScape was developed to make high-throughput compound analysis more automated and more actionable,” explains Wayne Lootsma, President at Sound Analytics. “Bringing these capabilities to SCIEX OS software gives laboratories a path to modernize established workflows.”
LeadScape version 4.0 builds on the proven workflow capabilities of DiscoveryQuant software, a widely adopted solution for automated compound optimization and analysis.
LeadScape compatible with SCIEX OS software helps laboratories:
- Accelerate assay development and compound characterization through automated LC-MS/MS compound optimization.
- Increase throughput in high-volume ADME workflows by streamlining method and batch creation, data acquisition, and analysis.
- Improve confidence in results with robust and reproducible assays.
- Enhance laboratory efficiency and consistency by simplifying data review and reporting while helping standardize workflows across teams and sites.
LeadScape, compatible with SCIEX OS software, supports SCIEX Triple Quad and QTRAP LCMS systems running SCIEX OS software, including the Echo® MS+ with SCIEX Triple Quad 6500+ system. The software also maintains compatibility with existing DiscoveryQuant databases, helping laboratories preserve years of optimization data and established workflows while transitioning to SCIEX OS software.
