Waters’ newest high-performance mass spectrometer is up to 15X
more sensitive for quantifying negatively ionizing compounds than
its predecessorii and is 45% smaller and uses up to 50% less
electricity and gas supply than other high-performance tandem
quadrupole mass spectrometers available on the market.iii The Xevo
TQ Absolute is designed to help pharmaceutical, food and beverage,
and environmental analytical laboratories meet regulations
requiring trace-level quantitative mass spectrometry analyses for a
broad set of applications.
“The Xevo TQ Absolute is for laboratories looking for
industry-leading quantitative sensitivity, accuracy,
reproducibility, efficiency and sustainability,” said Jon Pratt,
Waters Division Senior Vice President, Waters Corporation. “It
offers more analytical firepower in a much smaller footprint than
any other mass spec in its class, reaches exceptionally low limits
of quantitation, and aids laboratory managers to best optimize
their equipment utilization and analytical output.”
For optimal performance, Waters pairs the Xevo TQ Absolute mass
spectrometer with Waters’ ACQUITY™ Premier UPLC System with
MaxPeak™ HPS technology which eliminates non-specific adsorption of
compounds containing phosphate and/or carboxylate groups and
improves their recovery. Together, this integrated LC-MS/MS system
is designed to drive the limits of quantitation to exceptionally
low levels for many applications including:
- Quantifying regulated impurities in drug products
- Performing oligonucleotide bioanalytical assays
- Measuring concentrations of endogenous metabolites in large
cohort clinical studies
- Quantifying residues and contaminants in food and environmental
samples
- Measuring low-level drugs and toxicants in physiological
matrices
- Detecting trace-level leachables from food packaging
The Xevo TQ Absolute incorporates thoughtful design features
that enable consistent and reproducible analyses, allowing labs to
maintain performance and uptime for longer periods in between
routine cleaning and service intervals. This is achieved with new
guidance on optimal probe positioning for both sensitivity and
robustness and a source shield that helps minimize source
contamination by the sample matrix or mobile phase salts.
The Xevo TQ Absolute is optimized for use with the
waters_connect™ software platform and is also compatible with
Waters MassLynx™ mass spectrometry software. For laboratories
painstakingly reviewing the results from large numbers of samples,
or those quantifying hundreds of small molecule components and
contaminants in a single run, the MS Quan app on waters_connect and
its unique Exception Focused Review (XFR) functionality, lets
scientists review data in up to half the time it used to take
themiv.
Worldwide customer shipments of the Xevo TQ Absolute are
expected to commence in May.
