Waters Xevo™ TQ MS provides the ultimate in quantitative capabilities for your most demanding applications and your most complex sample matrices. It is a highly advanced tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer designed to enable uncomplicated access to superior HPLC and UPLC®/MS/MS performance, delivering the highest levels of sensitivity, selectivity, robustness, speed, and accuracy.
Waters Xevo TQ MS is equipped with unique collision cell technology (ScanWave™) to provide new enhanced spectral LC/MS/MS data acquisition capabilities. Unlike conventional tandem quadrupole mass spectrometers, the Xevo TQ MS is designed not only to provide the very best quantitative data, but also to provide you with superior spectral MS/MS information. Xevo TQ MS offers you much more versatility in a single instrument platform that is adaptable to a variety of different UPLC/MS/MS applications both quantitative and qualitative: bioanalysis, ADME screening, food safety, environmental monitoring, forensic, and more.
