SCIEX Announces novus V55 System and AI-Powered SCIEX OS 5.0 Software

MARLBOROUGH, Mass. — SCIEX, a Danaher company and a global leader in life science analytical technologies, has announced the novus V55 system, a next-generation triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. This system is designed to meet the demands of high-throughput lab environments that require both performance and high capacity. Compared to the SCIEX 5500+ system, it offers a reduced footprint and improved energy efficiency while delivering outstanding sensitivity and faster time-to-results in its class. This quantitative solution supports expanded testing capabilities across a wide range of fields, including pesticide and food analysis, pharmaceutical impurity analysis, bioanalysis, and PFAS analysis. The novus V55 system is built for business outcomes and practical lab effectiveness. Key features include: aeMRM (accelerated MRM), which supports acquisition of up to 1,000 MRM/sec, enabling higher sample throughput, expanded testing capacity, and maintained quantitative precision. The new SCIEX OS 5.0 software includes: Central Metric Tracker for tracking instrument performance and assay-level metrics; Central Monitoring for unified status checks of multiple instruments; Reporter Template Creator for easy custom report generation; AI-powered 'helpme' feature for quick answers to operational questions via natural language interface; and AI-powered calculation columns for creating custom calculations using natural language. The OptiFlow Ion Source maintains the robustness and sensitivity synonymous with SCIEX systems. The footprint has been reduced by 35%, making it the most compact triple quadrupole system in its class without compromising sensitivity or quantitative performance. Energy consumption and lab cooling requirements are both reduced by 40%, contributing to lower operational energy costs. Compatibility with all LC systems, LIMS support, and 21 CFR Part 11 compliance ensure a secure and compliant operating environment. 'Analytical labs are being asked to provide more insights in less time, with less space and energy. With the novus V55 system, we have leveraged decades of innovation to enhance performance and operational efficiency while ensuring robustness and sensitivity,' said Chris Lock, Vice President of Global R&D at SCIEX. As the fifth generation of this system, it inherits a proven track record in nominal mass spectrometry. SCIEX launched the world's first commercial triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, the TAGA 6000, in 1981, and has since evolved through the API and Triple Quad series.
