Meet all your application requirements with Waters chromatography systems, including our Dependability line of HPLC Systems, Flexibility line of HPLC/UHPLC Systems, and Performance line of UHPLC/UPLC Systems.
Achieve excellent ionization efficiency and high sensitivity with Atmospheric Pressure Gas Chromatography (APGC), a soft ionization technique that is convenient to use and can be quickly swapped out to liquid chromatography (LC) when desired.
Detect, identify, and quantify with confidence using Tandem Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry (MS/MS), coupled with gas chromatography or liquid chromatography. Explore our family of flexible bench-space friendly, accreditation and workflow-ready Xevo TQs to meet your analytical and budgetary needs.
Get the most from your instrument and avoid time-consuming repair visits with Xevo TQ-S micro, ideal for achieving high quality analytical data, injection after injection, in compliance with your regulatory, accreditation and quality requirements – all in a compact instrument.
With the most commonly used atmospheric pressure ionization source of electrospray as standard, simply change the ionization source to UniSpray to extend your analytical capacity and meet changing demands.
