Mass Spectrometry

Waters mass spectrometers provide you with the tools to confidently identify and quantify unknown compounds in complex samples, and confirm trace components at the lowest possible levels. Instrumentation that allows you to comprehensively catalog complex samples in a single analysis is now available. With technologies like QuanTof (for a new dimension in high-resolution exact mass MS), StepWave (for confirmation of trace components), Triwave (for characterization of complex mixtures), and MSE (for exact-mass ion spectra from your samples), your possibilities are endless.


Single Quadrupole Mass Detection Waters innovative single quadrupole mass detectors are designed for robustness, to make access to mass spectral data easy for scientists with all levels of expertise.
Tandem Quadrupole ( Triple Quadrupole ) Mass Spectrometry Waters innovative tandem quadrupole MS technology is designed for quantitative UPLC®-MS/MS. Our philosophy centers on making high performance accessible, robust and reliable.
