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 James Hallam, Vice President for Research, Development, and Advanced Testing, Waters Corporation. "As we designed the ACQUITY QDa II Mass Detector, we extended the capabilities of the new system to address the expansion of new molecular entities, such as monoclonal antibodies and glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) agonist."
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
"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 Mariusz Kurowski, Analytical and API Expert, Polpharma,
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
The ACQUITY QDa II Mass Detector is designed for compliance-ready deployment on Waters Empower™ Chromatography Data System (CDS) Software. It enables streamlined integration of mass measurements into chromatographic methods, making it accessible to analytical scientists who do not have expertise in mass spectrometry. It is designed to complement and work with the best-in-class Waters ACQUITY Premier Liquid Chromatography (LC) portfolio and is now available to order online globally.
