Waters发布质谱新品:携StepWave XR技术,竖PFAS检测新标杆

Core Viewpoint - Waters Corporation launched the Xevo TQ Absolute XR mass spectrometer at ASMS 2025, featuring StepWave XR technology that enhances sensitivity and contamination resistance, aiding in PFAS detection and compliance with environmental regulations while optimizing energy consumption and space utilization [1][2]. Innovation Technology Highlights - StepWave XR ion guide technology offers 6 times the performance robustness compared to the previous Xevo TQ Absolute, with a continuous analysis duration increase of 6 times, successfully validated through 12,000 pesticide samples in fish feed, and improved contamination resistance [4][5]. - The instrument significantly reduces downtime, with customer evidence showing over 20,000 plasma sample injections maintaining reproducibility [5]. - Designed specifically for PFAS and genotoxic impurities, the quantification capability for negatively ionized compounds has been enhanced [5]. Environmental/Green Efficient Laboratory Solutions - Energy consumption and nitrogen usage have been reduced by 50%, with heat emissions also decreased by 50% [6]. - The compact design reduces the footprint by 50% [6]. Core Application Scenarios - PFAS Detection: The system is ready for quantitative analysis, meeting the latest EPA regulatory requirements [7]. - Pharmaceutical Quantitative Analysis: Achieves ultra-high sensitivity analysis of trace drug molecules in complex matrices, accelerating new drug development [7]. - High-Throughput Scenarios: Supports pharmaceutical companies, CROs, and government laboratories, with a 30% increase in daily sample throughput, validated by Synexa with over 20,000 injections [7]. - User Feedback: The Scientific Director of Synexa Life Sciences highlighted the Xevo TQ Absolute XR's reproducibility and accuracy in addressing emerging bioanalytical challenges, having completed over 20,000 plasma sample analyses in conjunction with the ACQUITY™ Premier UPLC™ system [7].
