Streamlining environmental analyses

May 2007 Analytical Instrumentation & Environmental Monitoring

Waters offers a wide range of solutions for environmental samples with its innovative instrumentation, column chemistries and data management software. The Waters' systems simplify analysis, increase laboratory productivity and provide better data in less time.

Increased sensitivity, resolution and throughput

"The Waters Acquity Ultra Performance (UPLC) system is up to nine times faster than previous models, has up to twice the peak resolution, and is up to three times more sensitive than traditional HPLC," says Dean Milbank of Microsep.

Fast and easy screening and confirmation

"The Acquity TQD is a simple, high performance quantitative MS/MS solution that enables one to detect more components in less time," Milbank continues. "The system combines the narrow peak widths of UPLC with high-speed quantitation. The TQ detector's high-sensitivity and selectivity allow trace level detection in complex matrices. Its automated system set-up and IntelliStart diagnostics additionally ensure ease-of-use and optimal performance.

Screening and confirmation

The Quattro micro GC is a compact, benchtop system for accurate, reproducible low-level quantitative analysis and reduced matrix interference. The system provides exceptional sensitivity, selectivity, stability and linearity.

Untargeted screening and compound ID time-of-flight (TOF) MS

Waters time-of-flight (TOF)-based LC/MS (LCT Premier XE) and GC/MS (GCT Premier) systems are capable of high-accuracy exact mass measurement for elemental composition determination. The result is complete confidence in data. In addition, the extended dynamic range and fast spectral acquisition rates of both systems are ideal for challenging, complex environmental samples.
