Waters has introduced its Xevo TQD tandem quadrupole mass detector for routine quantitative LC/MS/MS analysis.
The newest addition to the Waters Xevo range of tandem quadrupole mass spectrometers, the Xevo TQD features the universal ion source architecture present on advanced mass spectrometers such as the Xevo TQ-S and the new Synapt G2-S.
Now laboratories with plans to expand their services and capabilities can take advantage of the robustness of Zspray and access a variety of ionisation modes.
Automated quantification workflow tools, included as standard with the Xevo TQD, minimise variability between departments, between laboratories and between operators.
From beginning to end, the Xevo TQD simplifies the process of target compound quantification across a range of applications.
The Xevo TQD also features Radar technology.
Radar technology is an information-rich data-acquisition approach that allows scientists to monitor for matrix interferences, metabolites, impurities and degradants in their samples while accurately quantifying their target compounds.
This is done by collecting data in both MRM and full scan modes simultaneously.
In addition, Radar technology acquires all detectable ions in both positive and negative full-scan MS, providing scientists with a depth of knowledge about their sample.
The Xevo TQD incorporates T-Wave collision cell technology, enabling data acquisition at fast sampling rates and true compatibility with the narrowest of chromatographic peak widths.
Rapid polarity switching means one can analyse acidic and basic compounds in a single analytical run.
This ensures that results aren't compromised when performing high-throughput quantitative measurement of large numbers of compounds.
