Historically, UV detection has been favored in many laboratories for its ease of use, robustness, and reliability. However, some of the inherent challenges include analytes that do not have a response in a UV channel, coelutions, and unknowns, any of which can require an orthogonal approach such as mass detection. While mass detection offers a number of benefits when used in tandem with UV detection, incorporating it into an existing UV workflow can be time-consuming and laborious.
Advances in both instrumentation and software now make mass detection a technique that is much more accessible to chromatographers working in pharmaceutical methods development. In this white paper, we describe the features of the ACQUITY QDa Detector and Empower 3 Software that have been purposefully designed to enable analysts to readily incorporate mass detection within a UV chromatographic workflow.
