Maximum efficiency is essential for analytical laboratories that are constantly challenged to increase throughput and deliver results to research chemists in pharmaceutical discovery.
Waters Open Access systems allow chemists to simply walk up to an LC/MS system, log in their sample, place the sample in the instrument as instructed, and walk away to retrieve results at their desk by email or printout – with minimal wait time.
ACQUITY UPLC and UPLC/MS systems and software enable versatile and open operation for medicinal chemistry labs, with easy-to-use instruments, a user-friendly software interface, and fast, robust analyses using UV or MS for nominal and exact mass measurements.
System management is just as simple. Online, the central administrator can remotely define system users and their privileges for operating instruments across the network.
Waters Open Access systems for LC/MS are built around the OpenLynx Open Access Application Manager, which brings the power of chromatography and mass spectrometry to chemists who are not analytical instrumentation specialists.
One such system is the ACQUITY SQD, which leverages the power of UPLC’s fast, sensitive, and high resolution separations as well as single quadrupole mass detection. With a UPLC Column Manager, the system can include up to four columns for multiple screening methods. OpenLynx and the system’s remote monitoring and diagnostic features assure medicinal chemistry lab managers of high instrument uptime, system robustness, and maintenance predictability.
For Open Access labs that need to further extend productivity and capacity, the UPLC Open Architecture System includes a flatbed 2777-style Sample Manager, an industry standard autosampler that is familiar to chemists who prefer to add their sample vials or well plates to an open bed rather than having to access a sample rack position inside a system. With an EverFlow Valve, the system reliably operates at high pressures over an extended lifetime.
