A technological first for mass
spectrometry
Synapt HDMS is the first mass spectrometer of its kind to employ new ion-mobility technology and software to enable the analysis of sample ions differentiated by size and shape, as well as mass
Building on the momentum of the year's major industry meetings - the 57th Pittsburgh Conference on Analytical Chemistry and Applied Spectroscopy (Pittcon) and the 54th American Society of Mass Spectrometry Conference (ASMS) - Waters is continuing its innovation platform at the 17th International Mass Spectrometry Conference (IMSC) At the triennial International Mass Spectrometry Conference, 27 August - 1 September 2006, Waters is presenting a host of new products debuted earlier this year

Synapt HDMS system is the first mass spectrometer of its kind to employ new ion mobility technology and software to enable the analysis of sample ions differentiated by size, charge, shape and mass.
Highlighting Waters 2006 product news is the launch of a first-of-its-kind mass spectrometry system, the Synapt High Definition MS (HDMS), and a new collaboration with Applied Biosystems.
The Synapt HDMS System is for researchers working at the limits of conventional mass spectrometry (MS) and who need to further characterise and define their samples.
This month, Waters also announced a new partnership with Applied Biosystems to offer direct support of Waters Acquity Ultra Performance LC (UPLC) system within Applied Biosystems Analyst software.

A technological first for mass spectrometry.
The Synapt HDMS system is the first mass spectrometer of its kind to employ new ion-mobility technology and software to enable the analysis of sample ions differentiated by size and shape, as well as mass.
This additional dimension of separations fidelity leads to improved specificity and sample definition meaning scientists can extract more information about their samples including the detection of previously unseen constituents.
A key feature of this new system is the patented Waters Triwave technology, a unique method for combining highly-efficient ion-mobility based measurement and separations with high performance quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
Operational control and data acquisition and processing is performed through Waters MassLynx Software.
New and innovative technologies deployed in high-performance mass spectrometry, including The Synapt system, were the focus of a luncheon seminar at IMSC entitled 'New developments in very high performance mass spectrometry for life science research', Monday, 28 August 2006.
Innovation behind other new MS products.
In addition to the Synapt High Definition MS System, Waters is sharing its new tandem UPLC/MS/MS system solution, the Waters TQD, allowing chromatographers to easily and confidently acquire UPLC/MS/MS data in routine analytical and open access settings.
This UPLC/MS/MS system features the new Waters TQ Detector - a benchtop, ultra-compact, tandem-quadrupole, atmospheric pressure ionization (API) mass detector designed for routine UPLC/MS/MS analyses.
With first-of-its-kind IntelliStart technology to integrate the internal calibration fluidics and advanced diagnostics software, the system automatically tunes and calibrates the TQ Detector and conducts full UPLC/MS/MS performance checks.
