  • UPLC: Waters Acquity UPLC H-class QSM, sample manager, column heater and PDA detector.
  • UPLC-TQ-MS: XevoTM TQ-S (Waters) is designed for the most demanding quantitative UPLC®/MS/MS applications. It features are revolutionary new off-axis ion source technology (StepWaveTM) which increases even further the high sensitivity provided by Xevo TQ. This advance in performance allows accurate, robust, and reproducible measurements of compounds at very lower concentrations. Xevo TQ-S also features collision cell technology (ScanWaveTM) to provide enhanced spectral LC/MS/MS data acquisition capabilities to provide not only quantitative data, but also spectral MS/MS information.
