Ensuring Best Data Quality
Streamlining Quality Control in Small Molecule Research
The QSee™ Performance Test provides a standardized QC workflow with a guided user interface, automated data evaluation, and clear pass/fail reporting to proactively assess LC TIMS MS system performance. Results can optionally be uploaded to TwinScape™, enabling longitudinal trend analysis and long term system surveillance across instruments and time.
Key Features of the QSee™ Performance Test Solution:
- Standardized end-to-end turnkey solution combining software, SOPs and methods, reference standard mixture and dedicated RP LC columns.
- Operator-Independent Workflows: Reduce user variability through automated, standardized QC routines.
- Standardized Data Acquisition: Ensure consistent QC workflows, enabling reproducible benchmarking independent of system configuration.
- Automatic evaluation of key LC-TIMS-MS performance parameters (mass accuracy, retention times, LC peak areas, CCS errors, isotopic pattern qualities & more to come).
- Automated QC & Reporting: Instantly generate clear, actionable QC reports with pass/fail metrics, eliminating the need for manual interpretation.
- Cross-Instrument Comparability: Compare performance across instruments, labs, and timepoints using harmonized QC metrics.
- Trend Monitoring & Longitudinal Analysis: Detect performance drifts early through continuous monitoring of system metrics over time.
- Seamless Integration: Fully compatible with Bruker timsTOF systems and software ecosystem.

Why QSee™ Performance Testing Matters for Your Data Quality
- Trust your data: Make confident decisions based on verified and reproducible system performance.
- Detect issues early: Identify drifts, contamination, and sensitivity loss before they impact results.
- Standardize QC across labs: Ensure comparable performance independent of user, lab, or system configuration.
- Reduce downtime: Minimize troubleshooting effort with fast identification of root causes.
- Increase efficiency: Save time through automated workflows and eliminate manual QC steps.
- Enable reproducible research: Maintain consistent data quality across projects and long-term studies.
"By integrating QSee Performance Testing into our lab routine, we've conveniently benchmarking our LC-TIMS-MS system performance before each experiment. The slim and intuitive workflow makes this a straightforward check, and the results provide assurance and peace of mind that we've consistently producing high quality data.
Confidence in our analytical results has never been higher, thanks to this comprehensive solution. It's truly a QC game-changer for our lab."
