Industry news
SCIEX a global leader in life science analytical technologies, announced an agreement with Waters Corporation to offer customers fully configured and interoperable Waters™ Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography (UPLC™) instruments as part of their purchase and deployment of SCIEX mass spectrometry (MS) systems.
The collaboration makes it easier for customers to choose the most suitable tools to address their analytical needs for both large and small molecules. Waters UPLC instruments feature low dispersion capabilities that can deliver increased MS sensitivity when low level analyte detection and quantification is required.
“We strive to provide the best products and services, and live by the mantra, ‘when customers talk, we listen,’” said Dom Gostick, Vice President & GM LCMS and CTO, at SCIEX. “Through this collaboration, we are broadening the variety of LC instruments available to our growing customer base.”
SCIEX and Waters developed instrument control drivers that have been fully tested to ensure compatibility and compliance. These proven drivers allow SCIEX OS software to directly control Waters ACQUITY™ UPLC I-Class PLUS Systems, as well as the H-Class PLUS, H-Class PLUS Bio and M-Class instruments. Customers will also benefit from the commitment of both vendors to deliver coordinated service and class-leading analytical performance. SCIEX will support the full customer relationship while Waters will provide direct UPLC service and support.
“Scientists will immediately benefit from ease of access to industry-leading UPLC systems,” said Jon Pratt, Senior Vice President, Waters Division. “This agreement provides for a smooth, integrated experience for customers with the coordinated support of Waters’ expertise and service."

QTRAP 4500 system
SCIEXThe QTRAP 4500 system takes the legendary 4000 QTRAP platform and intelligently re-engineers it to set a new benchmark for reliable quantitation and library searching – with 100-fold more full-scan sensitivity over basic triple quadrupoles in the same class. The LC-MS/MS workhorse is intelligently re-engineered. As one of the only triple quadrupole instruments with optional Linear Accelerator Trap technology, the QTRAP 4500 system enables powerful, unique workflows that deliver a new level of confidence in your data. High-confidence library searching and fast eQ electronics for UHPLC: The 4500 series uses proven eQ electronics delivering polarity switching speeds of 50 msec and scan speeds of 20,000 Da/sec, creating a potent solution for detecting unexpected contaminants. Combined with a single comprehensive library of thousands of QTRAP spectra for library matching, contaminants at the lowest levels can be confidently identified on a UHPLC time scale. Features: Simultaneously quantitate MRMs and perform full scan library searches for non-targeted contaminants. Achieve a 100X increase in full-scan sensitivity over triple quads providing an enhanced level of confidence for forensic toxicology applications. Boost selectivity with quantitative MRM3 workflows – and reduce the need for extensive sample cleanup or labor-intensive chromatography methods. Obtain comprehensive peptide sequence confirmation and simplify MRM assay development for peptide quantitation.
