New Xevo TQ Absolute XR mass spectrometer from Waters

The compact Xevo TQ Absolute XR mass spectrometer from Waters Corportation is the company's most sensitive, robust and reliable benchtop tandem quadrupole instrument, according to the manufacturer. In particular, it surpasses the performance of the Xevo TQ Absolute, which has set the industry benchmark for tandem quadrupole sensitivity. Designed for high-throughput applications, the new system offers exceptional performance for the most sensitive trace-level analyses in complex matrices while maximizing system uptime and efficiency. The benchtop instrument is based on the proven, intuitive design of the Xevo TQ Absolute mass spectrometer and offers significant efficiency gains. The Xevo TQ Absolute XR mass spectrometer consumes up to 50% less power and nitrogen gas, generates 50% less heat than any other high performance tandem or triple quadrupole on the market and requires up to 50% less bench space.

Within the Xevo TQ Absolute XR mass spectrometer, Waters introduces the StepWave XR ion guide, which features sophisticated technology to minimize the risk of unplanned downtime while ensuring high sensitivity and precision for even the most complex sample types and sensitive compounds. In addition, the design of the Xevo TQ Absolute XR mass spectrometer provides industry-leading, out-of-the-box quantification of negatively ionizing compounds, such as PFAS.
