Are you looking for high quality services, with short communication lines and time-to-results? We are happy to offer you analytical services, research and consultancy in mass spectrometry for pharma and life sciences.
With a unique background as PhD in Pharmacy and Chemistry, we have a broad knowledge in the analysis of molecules, ranging from small organic molecules to large proteins such as therapeutic antibodies.
Our expertise is the analysis of protein glycosylation and the building blocks thereof, which are nucleotide sugars. For more information, please go to our Services or feel free to contact us by email: info@glycomscan.com
We are experienced in analysis of target compounds in complex biological matrices such as blood, plasma, serum, urine, CSF, cells and tissues. It requires specialized sample preparations to prepare the samples for MS analysis. Pharmacokinetic modelling can be done upon request by our bioinformatician and data scientist.
The Agilent 1290-6490 UHPLC-QqQ arrives at our new lab. It is being hoisted by a crane in our new lab located in the basement in the building at Pivot Park, Oss.
Recently GlycoMScan has opened their company’s doors in the van Leeuwenhoek building’s basement. GlycoMScan offers services in mass spectrometry, from screening of small molecules to absolute quantification in complex biological matrices.
As the name suggests, I am specialized in analyses of glycosylation and the building blocks thereof, the nucleotide sugars and phosphorylated sugars from intracellular metabolism,
says Monique van Scherpenzeel, GlycoMScan’s CEO.
I chose Pivot Park because of the inspiring atmosphere of (start-up) companies in pharma and life sciences, the good quality laboratory facilities and the opportunity for me and my company to serve your R&D with my services in mass spectrometry.

GlycoMScan exhibited on conference GlycoBioTec in Berlin at the Max Planck Institute, which resulted in new customers and an European grant proposal: https://www.mpi-magdeburg.mpg.de/glycobiotec2019
GlycoMScan obtained the official Article 17 accreditation from the NVWA with number 219393, to work with biological materials for research and diagnostics on April 16th 2019.
GlycoMScan is excited to have bought our own laboratory and office building! We are going to move our laboratory on this summer, but will also remain in close contact as alumni to Pivot Park in Oss, renting office space and staying part of the scientific community.
Honored and excited to be invited as a leading expert by the Netherlands Enterprise Agency to represent the Netherlands in the upcoming Innovation mission to Switzerland from 21st till 25th of April: https://lnkd.in/ePnrhpJz
The missions’ intent is to foster close collaborations between the Netherlands and Swiss excellent research & innovation. In this light, we want to connect with experts and explore R&D collaboration opportunities. We are dedicated to provide high quality services to enhance development of new patients therapies.
CTO
Using the insights gained by my academic background in chemistry and experiences in several laboratories (among which Roche Diagnostics and Netherlands Vaccin Institute), I moved into laboratory software development, which combines my favourite fields. Not only in laboratories, I'm also asked outside the field to work on full-stack software development. With an official Microsoft certificate (MCSA) I'm specialized in .NET software development, ASP.NET, dotNET Core, SQL and Azure. As fractional CTO for GlycoMScan, I am responsible for the complete IT Ops, including infrastructure, cyber security, data safety and storage, report automation, and the website. We are ISO 27001 compliant.
CEO & founder
I switched my career from assistant professor in Clinical Glycomics at Radboud UMC to start my own business, which arose from the research of my personal NWO-Veni grant. I believe that there is a market to apply the analytical methods that I developed into biotechnology and for the development of medication for PMM2-CDG, a subgroup of the rare disorders I was doing research on in Nijmegen. I decided to settle in Pivot Park, since I knew the site from my time at Organon from 2003 to 2004, which I enjoyed a lot. It is the perfect place to assist the community with analyses of their products. Together with Mischa, Fleur, our business partners for specialized data analyses, accountant, legal and business developer, we are able to offer you a variety of analyses. My ambition is to provide high quality service and data, share my knowledge with you to help you succeed in your projects. I like the contacts with you and to practice my expertise in analytical chemistry.
Research assistant
In October 2023, I joined GlycoMscan after completing my master’s degree in Medical Engineering at the Technical University of Eindhoven. During my master’s, I specialized in analytical chemistry through multiple courses and a project with liquid chromatography coupled to the Orbitrap for high-resolution mass spectrometry. Programming, modeling, and coding were essential for biomedical applications and data analyses during my studies. In GlycoMScan, I hope to apply this knowledge to speed up the workflow and help more companies with questions that comprise large data sets. Besides the processing parts, I will contribute to the sample preparation and LC-MS/MS services that GlycoMScan offers.
