The History of Waters Detectors Infographic

The ACQUITY QDa® Mass Detector gives you certainty above all else. You can minimize the risk of unexpected coelutions or components and confirms trace components with the analytical confidence of mass detection. The ACQUITY QDa® Detector is a mass detector built around the needs of analytical scientists for chromatographic analysis. Robust, reliable and requiring no sample adjustments, it just integrates with your current LC, ACQUITY UPLC, ACQUITY UPC2 and purification systems. You'll enhance the analytical value and productivity of each analysis, and you won't need to run all the additional assays or time-consuming alternative techniques or even wait for results from specialist labs that cost your laboratory productivity. With the ACQUITY QDa® Detector, you now have information-rich mass spectral data to complement data from your current Waters® optical detectors, including the ACQUITY UPLC PDA, TUV, ELS, and FLR detectors, as well as the ACQUITY UPC² PDA Detector. This mass spectral information integrates seamlessly into the same workflow; routinely giving you more complete separation characterization. Features: Intuitive operation More information from every sample Effortless integration Increased efficiency Resolving complexity Applications: Food & Environment Life Sciences and Pharmaceuticals Chemical

The ACQUITY UPLC® Fluorescence (FLR) Detector brings unrivaled sensitivity and selectivity to UPLC®. The detector’s innovative flow-cell design, low-noise electronics and support for high-speed data rates are perfectly suited to the efficient separations of the ACQUITY UPLC's advanced fluidics technology. Target applications include PAHs, environmental contaminants, vitamins, aflatoxins and pharmaceuticals. Ultra Performance in Fluorescence Detection: Low volume flow cell design ( – The axially illuminated design of this flow cell enables greater light absorption, thereby enhancing sensitivity, despite it’s reduced cell volume. High-intensity light source, low-noise electronics and low dispersion optics – maximizes light throughput ensuring optimal signal-to-noise performance as compared to conventional fluorescence detectors for LC Support for data rates up to 80HZ – fit the requirements of any ultra fast, ultra performance application allowing for the full characterization of the narrow, sharp peaks typical of UPLC type separations 3D scanning capability – allows for the fast determination of wavelength maxima enabling efficient methods development
