I worked with an Sciex AP4000 triple quad but now I have to start a new lab and I am looking for a new instrument. The lab focus is clinical and preclinical pharmacokinetic of anticancer drug.
Having experience with Sciex TQ 4500, API 4000 and Shimadzu 8050, I'd choose (without hesitating or second thoughts) Sciex TQ 6500.
Sciex Triple quad 6500 given better / larger support team and worldwide coverage, to their dominance over Quant in Pharma over the last few decades!
I have worked with a 4000 Qtrap very extensively too, and a little bit on a Shimadzu with lots of software/ hardware issues!!!

From my 7+ years experience with Sciex, its definitely my favourite one. Although did not use 8060, but 6500 might provide better sensitivity and dynamic range. Alrhough heard that Shimadzu’s triple quads are quite nice. Being a Sciex fan, my vote is for 6500 (biased opinion).
I would go with Sciex with no doubt. We have several models here and will purchase another.
Dear Lavinia Morosi ,
I was using both in my lab and definitely I can recommend Sciex. In case of targeted analysis I am quite sure it is the best vendor. I am currently user of 4500, 5500, 6500 and TripleTOF. I have also experience with Agilent and Theromo machines and as I have stated before targeted analysis = Sciex.
Best,
Michal
Thanks a lot for your answers, but can you explain why sciex is better than shimadzu instrument? Better sensitivity? or easier to use? Less mantainance?
