<p><strong>For analytical scientists working with chromatography and mass spectrometry, protecting sensitive information is crucial. Advances in instrument and software technology, combined with increased demands for in-depth analytics, has significantly increased the volume of valuable data that must be safeguarded from unauthorized access and potential breaches. One effective strategy to enhance security is to centralize data management, storing data away from the initial point of acquisition. Let us explore how this approach can significantly strengthen security for chromatography and mass spectrometry users and facilitate adherence to regulatory compliance measures surrounding electronic records.&nbsp;</strong></p><h4><strong>Understanding the analytical science landscape&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>Chromatography and mass spectrometry are critical techniques in many fields including pharmaceuticals, environmental analysis and biochemistry. The data generated from these methods includes intricate details about potentially proprietary chemical compositions and biological information. Protecting this data is crucial to maintaining the integrity of scientific research and the competitive edge of organizations.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Thermo_Fisher_Scientific_Enhanced_Security_Through_Centralized_Data_Management_A_guide_for_Chromatography_and_Mass_Spectrometry_Users_95f6d464f1.webp" alt="Thermo Fisher Scientific: Enhanced Security Through Centralized Data Management - A guide for Chromatography and Mass Spectrometry Users" srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Thermo_Fisher_Scientific_Enhanced_Security_Through_Centralized_Data_Management_A_guide_for_Chromatography_and_Mass_Spectrometry_Users_95f6d464f1.webp 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1200" height="600"></p><h4><strong>The data security challenge&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>Data acquisition, processing, storage and reporting has traditionally been conducted on isolated, static hardware-bound workstations. This approach presents significant security risks:</p><ul><li><strong>Single point of failure: </strong>An isolated system with poor backup strategies can be vulnerable to catastrophic data loss via accidental damage or environmental changes. Any compromise can lead to data corruption, loss or unauthorized alterations.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Accessibility and convenience: </strong>Storing and processing data in a noisy lab environment can be inconvenient and impractical. Technical staff are often competing for access to instruments using the same workstation that others need for processing. This often leads to users manually transferring data outside of a controlled system for processing elsewhere. &nbsp;</li></ul><h4><strong>The case for centralized data management&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>Centralizing data management involves storing data in a central server location, away from the initial point of data acquisition. Here is how this approach can enhance security and usability for chromatography and mass spectrometry users:</p><ul><li><strong>Reduced risk:</strong> A centralized system that has redundancies and backups in place can alleviate the risks associated with a single point of failure. Attackers trying to gain access will also have to deal with robust security measures not typically seen with isolated workstations&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Enhanced data integrity: </strong>With separate systems for acquisition and storage, the integrity of the data is better preserved. Any unauthorized changes on the acquisition workstation will not directly affect the stored data.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Remote access and flexibility</strong>: Centralized data storage allows users to securely and conveniently access data from anywhere without manual transfer or copying the data.&nbsp;</li></ul><h4><strong>Data retention, integrity and auditing&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>Compliance with regulatory bodies such as the FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and &nbsp;EMA (European Medicines Agency) involves meeting stringent requirements for data integrity, security and retention. Centralized data management can help meet these requirements.</p><ul><li><strong>Data integrity and audit trails:</strong> Separating acquisition from storage lets organizations ensure long-term raw data integrity and traceability by controlling access and providing audit trails.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Secure data retention: </strong>Regulations often mandate that data submissions be stored securely for extended periods. Dedicated data storage solutions can be designed to meet these requirements of large data volumes in a cost-effective way, while also protecting data from unauthorized access, accidental damage and environmental threats. &nbsp;</li></ul><h4><strong>Practical implementation considerations for data security&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>Chromatography and mass spectrometry users looking to deploy a centralized data management system should consider some data security essentials:</p><ul><li><strong>Secure data transfer protocols:</strong> Use of encrypted channels for transferring data from the acquisition point to the central storage system.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Robust authentication mechanisms:</strong> Multi-factor authentication (MFA) to control access to both acquisition and storage systems. Single sign-on (SSO) systems also offer convenience.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Accessible audit trails and monitoring: </strong>Conducting regular security audits and continuous monitoring to detect and respond to potential threats promptly.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Leverage cloud solutions:</strong> Consider using cloud-based solutions that offer built-in security features for both data acquisition and storage. Many cloud providers offer specialized services that can help segregate these functions securely.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Compliance-focused data management: </strong>Ensure that the data management strategy aligns with regulatory requirements for data integrity, security and retention. This includes maintaining detailed records of data acquisition, storage, and processing activities.&nbsp;</li></ul><h4><strong>Conclusion&nbsp;</strong></h4><p>Centralizing data management by storing data away from the initial point of acquisition is a powerful strategy to enhance data security and facilitate regulatory compliance. Centralized data can be securely managed and shared remotely, allowing users to access data independently from the lab-bound workstations used for acquisition. Adopting secure data transfer protocols and robust authentication mechanisms can be made easier with modern cloud solutions. Scientists should feel empowered by these tools to protect their valuable data and maintain the integrity of their research. &nbsp;</p>

You always need the right tool for the job. Same is true for clinical and translational researchers, who depend on having the right solution to maximize their productivity while advancing their research.</p><h3 id="h-the-challenge-a-missing-tool-in-the-discovery-to-validation-workflow"><strong>The challenge: A missing tool in the discovery-to-validation workflow</strong></h3><p>For decades, clinical and translational researchers have struggled with biomarker verification workflows due to a technology gap. There’s no current technology that simultaneously addresses the scale, sensitivity and throughput demands without some serious drawbacks. You know this well.</p><p>Triple quad technology performing multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) is challenged to keep up with limited capacity to handle massive target lists while quantifying at lower limits using faster LC gradients.</p><p>HRAM MS technology performing parallel reaction monitoring (PRM) are challenged to maintain high sensitivity with high acquisition speeds to function with high throughput at experimental scale.</p><h3 id="h-the-breakthrough-solution-the-first-of-its-kind-verification-class-ms"><strong>The breakthrough solution: The first-of-its kind verification-class MS</strong></h3><p>Researchers struggling to fill the technology gap need not struggle any more. The first-to-market <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/products/1149"><strong>Thermo Scientific Stellar mass spectrometer</strong></a> expertly addresses the shortcomings of both ends of the existing verification-based mass spectrometer spectrum with its:&nbsp;</p><ul><li><strong>Expanded scale </strong>– <strong>The Stellar MS</strong> expands biomarker candidate verification per unit time while covering a wider range of compound classes.&nbsp; For proteomics and metabolomics, the expanded scale enables researchers to include more stable isotope labeled standards (SIS) without having to drop endogenous targets, enabling absolute quantitation for better statistical analysis, plus method standardization.</li><li><strong>Higher sensitivity </strong>– It generates data incredibly fast, but still maintains excellent sensitivity to enable accurate measurements and better putative biomarker stratification. With its impressive quantitative performance, this mass spectrometer minimizes the risk of false negatives. The sensitivity of quantitation extends dynamic range in association with the expanded scale to provide both breadth and depth of sample analysis.</li><li><strong>Greater specificity </strong>– <strong>The Stellar mass spectrometer’s</strong> ability to acquire <strong>full scan MS<sup>2</sup></strong> and <strong>MS<sup>3</sup> </strong>enables greater specificity by measuring all product ions associated with the precursor analyte, ensuring quantitative confidence in your targets of interest. It can detect smaller signal changes between donor groups (e.g., diseased and healthy), which ensures your measured expression levels are attributed to your target compound and not to background isomeric/isobaric interferences.</li><li><strong>Massive throughput </strong>– It provides the capacity to process all the samples in a study faster, which increases the laboratory capacity for more projects or expand the study size which increases statistical power for more confidence. Combined with the <strong>Thermo Scientific Vanquish Neo UHPLC system</strong> that delivers chromatographic performance from 0.1 to 100 µL/min, the <strong>Stellar MS</strong> has the acquisition speed to improve throughput 3-5X compared to methods using existing QQQ and HRAM instrumentation.</li><li><strong>Unrivaled quantitative productivity </strong>– Measuring a large number of targets is one thing, but how do researchers build these highly multiplexed methods? Traditionally, this process has been slow, painful and costly, requiring either direct infusion or many replicate injections followed by manual data evaluation. With the<strong> Stellar MS</strong>, researchers can go from building a method to completing an entire study faster while maintaining high data quality and confidence in results. &nbsp;&nbsp;</li></ul><h3 id="h-bridging-the-gap-between-discovery-and-clinical-validation"><strong>Bridging the gap between discovery and clinical validation</strong></h3><p>Not only does the Stellar MS represent a new class of instrument, it serves as the perfect “companion” product between the upstream HRAM instruments doing discovery and the triple-quad systems performing the downstream validation processes.</p><p>After discovery, the Stellar MS becomes invaluable for the verification phase—using quantitative accuracy to narrow the broad list of candidates with the highest potential down to the best set of markers to move into clinical validation. It can process a large list of potential candidates with the added benefits of higher sensitivity and quantitative accuracy.</p><p><img src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Thermo_Fisher_Scientific_Why_You_Need_a_Verification_class_Mass_Spectrometer_2_891de5ae8d.jpg" alt="Thermo Fisher Scientific: Why You Need a Verification-class Mass Spectrometer." srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Thermo_Fisher_Scientific_Why_You_Need_a_Verification_class_Mass_Spectrometer_2_891de5ae8d.jpg 245w," sizes="100vw" width="1024" height="576"></p><p>Transitioning from verification to validation may deliver a narrowed set of biomarker candidates that have the greatest potential for specific and sensitive sample classification.&nbsp; Based on the Stellar mass spectrometer’s work, researchers now know the sample preparation steps, LC methods, retention times, detection range (LLOD/LLOQ) and method robustness that can be carried over to streamline validation.&nbsp;</p><p>In addition, researchers also have the option to directly transition the LC-MS/MS method to&nbsp;the <strong>Thermo Scientific TSQ Altis Plus triple quadrupole mass spectrometer</strong> if expanded laboratory capacity is needed.

This idea is especially true for clinical and translational researchers who perform biomarker verification. The quality of your method development and research will always be determined by several things: <strong>(1)</strong> your existing data (e.g., compound databases, empirical data, in silico predictive models), <strong>(2)</strong> your guidance (e.g., real-time decision-making parameters) and <strong>(3) </strong>the experimental capabilities of your instrument platform.</p><h3 id="h-another-challenge-limitations-in-the-discovery-to-validation-workflow"><strong>Another challenge: limitations in the discovery-to-validation workflow</strong></h3><p>Poor quality input for method development is one challenge, but it’s not the only one. As we discussed in our <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/article/5077">first blog post </a>researchers have long struggled with a technology gap in available instrument platforms. Until recently, there were no single-vendor solutions that offered excellent performance for both discovery and targeted verification. This was a serious limitation that impacted how much researchers could rely on AI for method-building. The old process still required a lot more hands-on optimization, which seriously limited productivity.</p><h3 id="h-finally-automated-intelligence-without-the-drawbacks"><strong>Finally: automated intelligence without the drawbacks</strong></h3><p>With the advent of automated intelligence available on Stellar MS to build targeted methods and manage data acquisition, it’s a whole new ball game. Stellar MS software leverage automated intelligence to boost laboratory productivity, capacity, and lab reputation for high-quality data with faster turnaround times. As a researcher, you can now use automated intelligence to “feed in” your previous work and provide instructions about how to use that information to make decisions and generate new data. Here’s how it works:</p><h3 id="h-how-ai-speeds-method-creation-and-optimization"><strong>How AI speeds method creation and optimization</strong></h3><p>Stellar MS come with the Thermo Scientific software tool <strong>PRM Conductor </strong>in Skyline software for automated method building. It uses automated intelligence to build highly effective, targeted acquisition methods from your discovery data (from either<a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/products?instrumentationItems=33&amp;manufacturerItems=3&amp;search=Thermo+Scientific+Orbitrap"><strong> Thermo Scientific Orbitrap</strong></a>-based MS systems or the <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://lcms.labrulez.com/products/1149"><strong>Stellar MS</strong></a>).</p><p>PRM Conductor aids in the generation of targeted-MS2 and MS3 assays. The creation of an assay is broken into three main parts:</p><ol><li>Skyline metadata describing precursor-to-product transitions is used to filter transitions against a set of thresholds. The filters are based on integrated peak area, relative area, signal-to-background, correlation to median transition, LC base peak width, and retention time. Precursors are filtered by whether they have at least a certain number of qualifying transitions, typically three for peptides and two for small molecules.</li><li>Targeted assays are created with a visualization that depicts the concurrency of the assay in terms of how long the instrument would take to acquire data for the precursors as a function of retention time. Given a desired number of acquired points per LC peak and corresponding cycle time, you can see how various experimental parameters affect the feasibility of acquiring data for the qualifying precursors, such as linear ion trap scan rate and acquisition window width.</li><li>Finally, you can decide whether to create multiple assays for all qualifying precursors, or a single assay with a “balanced load” that picks the best N peptides per protein. Instrument methods for the final assay(s) can then be exported, based on a user-defined template method.</li></ol><p>In addition, Stellar MS solutions use <a target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" aria-label="Normalized Collision Energy - open in a new tab" data-uw-rm-ext-link="" uw-rm-external-link-id="https://assets.thermofisher.com/tfs-assets/cmd/warranties/psb104-normalized-collision-energy-technology-en.pdf$normalizedcollisionenergy"><a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://assets.thermofisher.com/TFS-Assets/CMD/Warranties/PSB104-Normalized-Collision-Energy-Technology-EN.pdf"><strong>Normalized Collision Energy</strong></a></a><strong> (NCE)</strong> – a well-established principle that automatically compensates for mass dependency by automatically estimating all of the collision energies. NCE bypasses the need for optimization per precursor-to-product ion transition performed by a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer which takes much longer to perform, multiplies the experimental cost due to replicate injections of standards and dedicated research staff time.&nbsp;</p><h3 id="h-how-ai-streamlines-data-acquisition"><strong>How AI streamlines data acquisition</strong></h3><p>With the Stellar MS automated intelligence capabilities, scientists can also speed data acquisition with these tools:</p><p><strong>Dynamic AGC</strong> (automated gain control) helps the system maintain constant ion count and high data quality regardless of ion flux. Essentially, the Stellar MS regulates the number of charges or ions per spectrum by employing a hyper-fast ion gate managing ion accumulation to pass an ideally constant number of ions per spectrum.</p><figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:400/443;" src="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/Thermo_Fisher_Scientific_Why_you_need_a_verification_class_mass_spectrometer_Part_2_2db3d7d0df.jpg" alt="Thermo Fisher Scientific: Figure 1: a) Theoretical depiction of how AGC expands the accessible quantitative range of concentrations. b) Assessment of active targets at the start of a cycle, with their minimum acquisition times on the y-axis, and where more intense precursors are white. 3) Expansion of injection times inverse-proportionally to target abundance. " srcset="https://storage.googleapis.com/labrulez-bucket-strapi-h3hsga3/thumbnail_Thermo_Fisher_Scientific_Why_you_need_a_verification_class_mass_spectrometer_Part_2_2db3d7d0df.jpg 141w," sizes="100vw" width="400" height="443"></figure><p>As depicted in Figure 1, the ability to vary the injection time expands the dynamic range of quantitation, from a base range given by just the storage and detector saturation limits and multiplies it by the gate linearity range. In the case of the Stellar MS, the pulsed nature of ion trap mass analysis limits the intra-scan dynamic range to about three orders (from 1 to 25k ions in a peak), while the gate can give a linear response from about 3d-6 seconds up to a practical experimental limit, for example 3e-1 seconds.</p><p>Another tool, <strong>Adaptive RT</strong>, dynamically manages PRM acquisition, which means you’ll nearly eliminate the risk of missing data while maximizing target capacity.&nbsp; Missing data requires you to re-run samples, costing time and money. Using the method (generated by PRM Conductor software), you can run one representative sample on the gradient and product ion distribution profiles as a function of retention time are built into the instrument editor, which combines PRM settings and Adaptive RT to manage every microsecond of sample acquisition. The system will continue to update and modify the method to adjust for any unexpected LC perturbation or manage data acquisition across multi-channel UHPLC column formats.
