Uncovering Nature's Clues for Medicine - Analytical Strategies to Natural Product Discovery
The rapid advancement of analytical technologies has seen a turning point for natural product-based drug discovery. Amidst the resurging interest in botanical products screening for novel drug leads, the challenges in high-throughput screening and data complexity remain.
In this webinar, Shimadzu presents analytical strategies to simplify untargeted screening workflow for natural products discovery. This includes using QTOF LCMS-9030, which integrates the world's fastest and most sensitive quadrupole technology with TOF architecture to obtain comprehensive coverage of compounds with high speed and accuracy. Together with the LabSolutions software that easily deconvolutes complex data, Shimadzu's solutions make the demanding task of identifying unknown natural products much more straightforward.
Learning Objectives:
- To understand natural product discovery workflow
- Experience and insights sharing by industry expert in A*STAR
- Shimadzu's High Resolution Accurate Mass (HRAM) solution
