To enable the support of the innovative Waters LC system portfolio, we also partner with a variety of chromatography data system (CDS) vendors to provide you with the versatility you need for your business.

To that end, Waters provides a standard approach for developing and testing drivers, and to provide collaborative and responsive technical support for mutual customers.

The following Waters LC systems are available for acquisition control:


The following vendors have partnered with Waters and, through this relationship, these parties will support their drivers on Empower, Waters will support our drivers on third-party CDS:

  • Agilent (Open Lab/EZ Chrom/Chemstation)
  • Sciex (SCIEX OS and Analyst)
  • Thermo Scientific (Chromeleon/Xcalibur)


Waters is responsible for driver development, timing, and functionality that is implemented.

The Waters LC portfolio allows scientists to address tough analytical questions and these systems can be configured with other chromatography data systems (CDS), while still supporting standalone diagnostics and troubleshooting functionality available in Waters Console Software to make acquisition support seamless.
