Waters has revealed that it will demonstrate how its analytical instruments and informatics products address scientific and business challenges at Pittcon 2009 on 8-13 March.
Waters's offerings at Pittcon 2009 include the Xevo family of mass spectrometers, the Xevo TQ and Xevo QTof MS Systems, and an expanded suite of products for Ultra-Performance LC (UPLC) aimed at bringing laboratories new levels of efficiencies.
Additionally, Waters shares the spotlight with its latest technology addition, supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC), by featuring products from TharSFC at the exhibition.
With Xevo bench-top mass spectrometers combine instrument performance with simplicity enabled by Intellistart technology to allow scientists to convert data into business-critical knowledge faster and with greater assurance.
Waters's Xevo quadrupole time-of-flight (QTof) mass spectrometer (MS) is an exact mass MS/MS bench-top instrument.
Paired with Waters Acquity UPLC system gives scientists UPLC/MSE performance - a novel method of data acquisition that captures 'all of the data, all of the time' at speed to maximise the amount of information collected from minimal sample amounts.
Also new to Pittcon is the Waters Xevo TQ MS system, an advanced tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer that tackles demanding quantification applications for target compounds at low concentrations in highly complex and diverse samples.
Waters Xevo TQ MS system is qualified to allow laboratories to conform to the new US Food and Drug Administration's guidelines for bioanalytical method validation.
The intent of the guidance is to prevent errors due to matrix effects made during the toxicological assessment of a target compound or its metabolites; errors that can have life-threatening consequences during clinical trials.
With the Xevo family of mass spectrometers, Waters is combining advanced performance with ease-of-use to answer the need for laboratories to get more out of their investment in analytical technology.
