News Summary:
- Waters combines the enhanced desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) source with the Xevo TQ Absolute tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer to enable faster and more sensitive targeted pre-clinical MS imaging experiments.
- 5X more sensitive and 5X faster than discovery-grade quadrupole time-of-flight MS imaging assays.i
- Enables pharmaceutical development scientists to decide which drug candidates to investigate further and develop into marketable drugs as quickly as possible.
"Customers have successfully applied the Xevo TQ Absolute system to solve a host of problems including PFAS testing at parts-per-quadrillion levels," said
Dr.
"The DESI XS source features a high-performance sprayer and that makes the DESI source robust so we can work much more efficiently," said
Applications for direct-from-sample DESI/tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry include:
- Elucidating drug distribution in tissue sectionsii
- Monitoring relevant biochemical pathways in toxicological studies
- Classifying tissue and determining tumor margins
At this year's ASMS conference, Waters is also showcasing its PFAS analytical workflow based on the ultra-sensitive Xevo TQ Absolute mass spectrometer, chemistries, and software. The end-to-end UPLC-MS workflow allows laboratories worldwide to upgrade their capability and keep current with the latest regulatory requirements for measuring parts-per-quadrillion levels of PFAS in air, water, soil, and food.
