ScanWave – Qualitative information when you need it most

Find out more from Daniel Kenny, Principal Research Scientist at Waters, about ScanWave technology which allows ions within the collision cell to be accumulated and separated according to their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z). Synchronizing these ions with the scanning of the second quadrupole significantly enhances product ion spectra, enabling you to more easily confirm the identities and structures of your analytes of interest.

StepWave – Delivers class leading UPLC/MS/MS sensitivity

Kevin Giles, Consultant Research Scientist at Waters talks about how StepWave technology maximises ion transmission from the source to the mass analyser. Through its unique design, the device also allows for the active removal of neutral contaminants, providing an enhancement to overall signal to noise. The patented design enables the efficient capture of the diffuse ion cloud entering the first stage, which is then focused into the upper ion guide for transfer to the mass analyser.

MSe – The engine that drives MS performance

Learn more from Gordon Kearney, Senior Product Manager at Waters, about how MSe Technology records data without discrimination or pre-selection. As a result, your samples are completely catalogued in a single analysis. And once it is captured, data can be re-interrogated at any time. Revisit the same sample with new questions, to make new discoveries, and apply new learning to old data.

T-Wave - Enables the precise manipulation of ions

Steve Pringle, Principal Research Scientist at Waters talks about Travelling Wave (T-Wave) technology which enables the precise manipulation of ions in a mass spectrometer in order to enhance sensitivity, selectivity and analytical speed. Enhancing the performance and functionality of Waters Mass Spectrometers and sometimes adding unique capabilities not possible by any other means.

TriWave – For the highest selectivity, specificity and experimental versatility

Hear from Kevin Giles about Waters TriWave technology which enables you to separate on the basis of size and shape as well as m/z, dramatically enhancing sample definition. TriWave technology comprises three travelling wave devices which are used to manipulate (trap, accumulate, release, separate and fragment) ions in a very precise, rapid and efficient manner.

QuanTof – High-resolution, accurate mass, quantitative time-of-flight MS technology

Find out more from Martin Green, Consultant Research Scientist at Waters, about how QuanTof technology incorporates novel detector electronics and hardware features that enable Waters’ modern oaTof mass spectrometers to generate spectra at speeds which enable narrow UPLC peaks to be accurately profiled without compromising mass resolution.

Universal Ion Sources - the ultimate in ionization flexibility and performance

Learn more from Ian Trivett, Principal Mechanical Design Engineer about Waters Universal Ion Sources which provide 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.

New Product Operations
