Waters Sets New Standards for High Resolution Performance and Speed with Xevo MRT Mass Spectrometer

News Summary:

Waters Xevo™ MRT Mass Spectrometer employs next-generation multi-reflecting time-of-flight technology to deliver class-leading combination of high resolution and speed without compromising analytical performance.i
Delivers up to 6x resolution at maximum speed and up to 2x mass accuracy of competitive systems,ii enabling scientists to process more samples in less time for large-cohort biomedical research and epidemiology-type studies.
Complete workflows available for metabolomic, lipidomic, and metabolite identification enables customer flexibility and convenience using Waters™ software, columns, and instruments for high throughput separations, and universal data-sharing with third-party software applications.

ANAHEIM, Calif., and MILFORD, Mass., June 4, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — 72nd ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics – Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) today unveiled the Xevo™ MRT, its highest-performing benchtop mass spectrometer (MS), setting new standards for delivering high resolution and speed, critical for large population and epidemiology-type studies. It builds on the innovative technology pioneered by the Waters SELECT SERIES™ MRT MS. The new Xevo MRT MS combines the raw power and resolution speed of multi-reflecting time-of-flight (MRT) and hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight (QTof) technologies within a flexible benchtop platform.
