Waters ACQUITY QDa II Mass Detector Delivers Wider Range of Chemical Analysis within Cost-Effective, Lower Energy Instrument
News Summary:
- ACQUITY™ QDa™ II Mass Detector enhances confidence in routine compound identification using the specificity of mass analysis to boost efficiency, robustness, and productivity in LC-UV separations, while leveraging the Empower™ Chromatography Data System for complete traceability.
- Provides a 20% enhancement in mass rangei for broader analytical support of large molecule and new drug modalities in the development pipeline.
- Up to 70% lower energy consumption and heat output compared with competing productsii earns recognition from
My Green Lab with an Accountability, Consistency, and Transparency (ACT) Label.
"Since we launched the first-generation ACQUITY QDa Mass Detector on Empower Chromatography Data System in 2013, it has become an essential tool for chromatographers looking to accelerate the development of higher quality methods for product development and impurity analysis," said
The ACQUITY QDa II Mass Detector is designed to seamlessly integrate into existing laboratory workflows with the usability and format of a LC detector. It delivers a 20% enhancement in mass range in a simple, small footprint LC-MS instrument designed to seamlessly integrate into highly regulated laboratory settings, ensuring compliance with ease.
"We simply cannot afford any time lag in results as even a short delay in getting the right analysis can mean a finished product might not be able to be released for the needs of a patient population," said
To enable scientists to deploy mass detection closer to the point of need, the ACQUITY QDa II Mass Detector also delivers improvements in repeatability and offers up to a 70% reduction in energy consumption and heat output compared to similar instruments. These efficiency and energy consumption improvements have earned the ACQUITY QDa II Mass Detector the ACT Label from the independent, nonprofit
The ACQUITY QDa II Mass Detector is designed for compliance-ready deployment on Waters Empower™
