Product Overview

Stop Reviewing LC-MS Runs in Spreadsheets

LC/MS-IQ analyzes TargetLynx exports and presents calibration, QC, unknown sample, and analyte health information in a structured daily review workflow. The goal is simple: help laboratories find run problems faster and document review decisions more consistently.

The Problem

LC/MS review is often spread across instrument exports, spreadsheets, chromatograms, QC notes, and operator judgment. That makes review slow, inconsistent, and difficult to trend over time.

The LC-MS-IQ Layer

LC/MS-IQ sits between raw instrument output and final reporting. It does not replace the LIS or instrument software. It organizes the review step so problems are easier to see and explain.

The Result

Operators get a clear run-level summary, analyte-level status, QC and calibration decisions, and historical trend context without manually rebuilding the same review every day.

Daily Review Workflow

1. Peak Validation
Identify missing peaks, low signal, retention time issues, and peak width concerns.
2. Calibration Review
Evaluate curve performance, calibrator bias, signal quality, and failed calibration patterns.
3. QC Review
Review QC acceptance, bias, signal-to-noise, and Westgard-style monitoring where configured.
4. Unknown Readiness
Show whether unknowns are ready for review or blocked by calibration or QC failure.
5. Health Monitoring
Track analyte performance across runs to catch drift before it becomes a repeated failure.

Calibration Review

Surface high-bias calibrators, regression concerns, missing points, low signal, and analyte-specific calibration failures.

QC Review

Evaluate QC samples against configured acceptance rules and prevent unknown interpretation when QC does not support reporting.

Unknown Review

Separate analytes that passed review from those that should not be interpreted because calibration or QC failed.

Trend Monitoring

Monitor retention time, peak width, signal-to-noise, calibration, and QC trends across historical runs.

What LC-MS-IQ Is — and Is Not

LC/MS-IQ is a daily LC-MS review layer. It helps organize run acceptance, analyte status, QC review, calibration review, and trend monitoring.

LC/MS-IQ is not a LIS, not an instrument control system, and not intended to store PHI or patient-identifiable information.
