High-End Mass Spec Systems Introduced: Major Players Compete for Lucrative Market Share with New Product Introductions at ASMS

摘要

At the ASMS conference held last month in Philadelphia, Waters (www.waters.com) launched the Synapt~(TM) G2 quadrupole TOP-MS system, which incorporates QuanToF~(TM) and High Definition MS~(TM) technologies and is designed for use with Waters' AcquityUPLC-MS and MS/MS applications. According to Alan Millar, senior product manager for TOP MS at Waters, the Synapt G2 has a "resolution >40,000 FWHM at acquisition rates (20 spectra/second) compatible with ultra-HPLC," a mass accuracy of 1 ppm RMS, and a dynamic range of up to five orders of magnitude. Waters expects to deliver the first Synapt G2 unit in 4Q09.
