The Next Generation of Q-Tof TechnologyIntroducing Waters Q-Tof Premier Mass Spectrometer, the next generation exact-mass API/MALDI MS/MS platform for the Pharmaceutical, Biotechnology and Life science industries. The Q-Tof Premier Mass Spectrometer, featuring T-WAVE™ (Travelling Wave) technology, offers significant enhancements in mass measurement accuracy, dynamic range (pDRE™), sensitivity (Enhanced Duty Cycle) and speed. If you want to quantify, identify and characterize compounds from simple or complex mixtures, Waters Q-Tof Premier offers simplistic operation with the finest blend of innovative analytical capabilities for results you’ll have the ultimate confidence in. The Waters Q-Tof Premier, driven by MassLynx 4.0 Mass-Informatics, provides the highest performance for the identification and characterisation of compounds by MALDI/MS/MS.Maximum Flexibility in Source CapabilitiesThe Micromass Q-Tof Premier allows a convenient, efficient switch between API and MALDI modes to deliver the degree of flexibility required in today’s research environment. By simply removing the API source, the MALDI source unit is transferred via a motorized stage to the source region, and is fixed in position. This feature ensures optimum flexibility for multi-technique analyses and maximum operational uptime. The Premier Technology PlatformThe Q-Tof Premier is a hybrid orthogonal acceleration Time-of-Flight (oa-ToF) mass spectrometer that enables automated exact mass measurement of precursor and fragment ions to yield the highest confidence in structural elucidation and databank search results The Q-Tof Premier is a high performance platform for MS and MS/MS analyses incorporating: - High Sensitivity – High transmission efficiency of Z spray™ source technology, T-WAVE ion optics, T-WAVE collision cell and oa-Tof transmission result in high sensitivity.
- High Resolution – Up to 17,500 FWHM with Woptics
- Exact Mass measurement accuracy – Routine exact mass measurement (within<3ppm rms) in MS and MS/MS with LockSpray and NanoLockSpray.
- Enhanced speed - Faster TDC (4GHZ) delivers acquisition rates of up to 10 spectra per second, designed specifically to operate within time-frames of UPLC-based separations.
- Programmable Dynamic Range Enhancement (pDRE™) – Equipped with programmable DRE function which enables quantitation and exact-mass measurement up to 4 orders of magnitude.
- Enhanced Duty Cycle - enables enhanced sensitivity over targeted m/z ranges for detection of modified components e.g. in Precursor Ion Discovery.
- MALDI - Exchangeable vacuum 96 spot MALDI enabling large scale MALDI MS and MS/MS analyses.
- Resolving quadrupole - 4, 8 and 32k Da options
- m/z range – up to 100,000 in V optics.
- Intelligent, automated MS/MS acquisition – Data Directed Analysis™ and Precursor Ion Discovery™
- Source options - LockSpray™, NanoLockSpray™, IonSabre™, APCI™, ESCI™, and APPI™.
- Ergonomics - New industrial design and significantly reduced instrument footprint
