Waters – LC/MS Instruments
Waters mass spectrometers provide you with the tools to confidently identify and quantify unknown compounds in complex samples, and confirm trace components at the lowest possible levels. Instrumentation that allows you to comprehensively catalog complex samples in a single analysis is now available. With technologies like QuanTof (for a new dimension in high-resolution exact mass MS), StepWave (for confirmation of trace components), Triwave (for characterization of complex mixtures), and MSE (for exact-mass ion spectra from your samples), your possibilities are endless.
Single Quadrupole Mass Detection
Single quad technology is a well respected, robust and reliable mass detection technique for many different functional areas of LC-MS across many different industries. Designed for compatibility with UPLC, UPSFC, HPLC, and AutoPurification, and with a wide range of ionization options, single quadrupole mass detection is an easy way to generate an extra dimension of information from your separation.
Tandem Quadrupole (Triple Quadrupole) Mass Spectrometry
Waters innovative tandem quadrupole MS technology is designed for quantitative UPLC®-MS/MS. Our philosophy centers on making high performance accessible, robust, reliable.
Time-of-flight Mass Spectrometry
Waters Time-of-flight MS systems, featuring QuanTof and MSE technologies, provide the highest UPLC-MS performance to meet the needs of challenging qualitative and quantitative applications.
Quadrupole Time-of-flight Mass Spectrometry
Waters Quadrupole Time-of-flight MS systems, featuring ion mobility, QuanTof, Fast DDA and MSE technologies, provide the highest UPLC-MS/MS performance to meet the needs of challenging qualitative and quantitative applications.
Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry
From research to routine – use ion mobility to enhance your analyses
Our range of IMS instruments will instill greater confidence in all your findings and with three to choose from, we have an instrument that will be just right for you. The SELECT SERIES Cyclic IMS, Waters SYNAPT XS and Vion IMS systems all combine ion mobility separations with high resolution MS, significantly enhancing the information available to you compared to MS alone, and enabling you to access information that would otherwise not be possible.
Ion Sources
When you need to extract the maximum amount of information from a diverse range of compounds, you require the ultimate in ionization flexibility and performance. Providing the highest performance, without compromise, the ionization source options are quick and easy to interchange enabling the widest range of ionization techniques to be utilized universally across a single analytical platform.
Mass Spectrometry Imaging
Imaging mass spectrometry is a technique that allows chemical information to be obtained directly or via the use of matrices from a wide range of surfaces. MS Imaging provides information on the spatial distribution of molecules at or near the surface. Imaging provides beautiful and information-rich images that allow scientists to answer the fundamental question: “Where is this component in my sample?”
