Product news

Waters Corporation announced the availability of a new brochure, "Environmental Solutions: Improving the Environment, Strengthening Your Business." With 50 years of experience, Waters creates liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS)-based system solutions that seamlessly integrate instrument and chemistry technology, software and professional services to help scientists meet the toughest scientific challenges in the environmental laboratory.

"Environmental Solutions: Improving the Environment, Strengthening Your Business" is a useful reference for environmental scientists and laboratory managers who are continually faced with adapting to changing and more stringent government regulations as it provides information about how laboratories can produce better quality information, resolve efficiency challenges in the lab, meet compliance regulations and meet revenue and profitability goals.

Whether it is new compound types or lower detection limits, laboratories must provide highly accurate and reliable results to a diverse client base. This information must be delivered rapidly, since failure to meet regulatory standards could result in fines, damaged reputations, or threats to public health. Waters helps environmental laboratories meet their clients’ needs by providing innovative technologies such as UltraPerformance LC®, LC/MS/MS, automated method validation and remote diagnostics tools, and expert knowledge in the management of laboratory workflows, while optimizing operations to increase profitability.

"Environmental Solutions: Improving the Environment, Strengthening Your Business" is currently available for download from the Article Webpage.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems. Find the best UHPLC and HPLC equipment in our peer reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.LC-MSLC-MS (liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry) systems and equipment are used for separation and quantitative analysis of complex mixtures, combining liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis. Find the best LC-MS equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Mass SpectrometryMass spectrometry (MS) is a powerful analytical technique used to identify and quantify molecules based on the mass-to-charge ratio of gas-phase ions. It provides detailed information about the structure, composition, and properties of compounds and is widely used across fields such as environmental monitoring, materials science, drug discovery and development, food and beverage testing, and wider chemical research. Key MS techniques include tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LS-MS) and inductively coupled plasma (ICP-MS). Choosing from these wide range of techniques and technologies can be a daunting task, so keep up to date with scientific applications, performance expectations, and customer reviews here all in one place. Visit our product directory to receive quotes direct from the manufacturer. Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.
