MS library global distribution agreement

John Wiley & Sons has signed a global nonexclusive distribution agreement with Switzerland-based GeneBio. As part of this agreement, Wiley will sell and distribute GeneBio’s SmileMS software (Small Molecule Identification and Library Exploration Using LC–MS–MS), alongside the company’s LC–MS–MS libraries for the bio-analytical laboratory market.

The software employs an algorithm developed specifically for LC–MS–MS for rapid screening of large sets of small molecules and can be used to support analytical investigations in clinical and forensic toxicology, food testing, laboratory medicine, environmental science, pharmaceutics and metabolomics.

The software can simultaneously search across multiple LC–MS–MS libraries, including libraries from NIST, AB SCIEX and Wiley as well as custom-developed libraries. According to the company, the software is compatible with LC–MS–MS instruments from major vendors, such as AB SCIEX, Agilent, Bruker, Thermo and Waters.
