UPLC wins R and D honour
For the third time in two years, the Acquity ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) system is cited in an award for its innovation
The collaboration is in response to scientists and laboratory technicians in the mass spectrometry community who seek the advantages in certain applications of using UPLC with MS, which includes increased throughput and performance.
These same users also want more unified control and results management software to seamlessly combine these complementary technologies.
"UPLC peaks are narrower and sharper, signal-to-noise ratios are higher, and run times are shorter - which are all key factors in enhancing the performance of virtually any mass spectrometer thus bringing laboratories new levels of efficiency".
""For Waters customers, the seamless combination of UPLC technology with Thermo's high performance mass spectrometry systems promises to bring laboratories more information per unit of time resulting in greater productivity," said Rohit Khanna, vice president of worldwide marketing, Waters".
"Iain Mylchreest, VP and general manager of life sciences mass spectrometry for Thermo adds: "This collaboration continues Thermo's commitment to provide its customers with advanced technology options to improve overall system performance".
""Since mass spectrometers comprise one of Thermo's largest and fastest growing product lines, and customers have seen the benefits of UPLC technology in combination with Thermo's high performance mass spectrometry systems, it makes sense to give customers this front-end choice.".
