26 CHROMATOGRAPHY/SPECTROSCOPY
Productivity and speed are key to chromatography and spectroscopy
This year’s Pittcon exhibition highlights that users are demanding ever more productivity and speed from their chromatography and spectroscopy investments.
Le salon Pittcon de cette année met en évidence une exigence des utilisateurs vis-à-vis de leurs investissements en chromatographie et spectroscopie : toujours plus de productivité et de vitesse.
Auf der diesjährigen Pittcon Messe wurde deutlich, dass Kunden von ihren technischen Investitionen in der Chromatographie und Spektroskopie immer mehr Produktivität und Geschwindigkeit abverlangen.
organisers’ hopes by attracting well over 19 000 attendees.
D Among the many attractions on show by more
than 1000 exhibitors were the latest advances in chromatography and spectroscopy technology. In no uncertain terms, our customers are telling us they need to achieve more: more productivity, more efficiency, and more speed in all of their efforts,” said Rohit Khanna, vice president of Worldwide Marketing with Waters Corporation. To this end, the company’s
headline offerings this year included the Xevo family of benchtop mass spectrometers. Xevo mass spectrometers are designed around the philosophy of Engineered Simplicity which combines outstanding instrument performance with simplicity enabled by IntelliStart technology to allow scientists to convert data into business-critical knowledge faster and with greater assurance. New to Pittcon this year, Waters
Xevo quadrupole time-of-flight (QTof) mass spectrometer (MS) is an exact mass MS/MS benchtop instrument that the company says is the most sensitive benchtop QTof system ever developed. Paired with Waters ACQUITY UPLC system, the Xevo QTof MS is the only commercially-available MS system to give scientists one-of-a-kind UPLC/MS performance – a novel method of data acquisition that captures “all of the data all of the time” at unparalleled speeds to maximise the amount of information collected from minimal sample amounts. Also new to Pittcon was the
Waters Xevo TQ MS System, an advanced tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer that tackles the most demanding quantification

espite the current global economic uncertainty the recent Pittcon conference and exposition in Chicago, USA, exceeded the
applications for target compounds at low concentrations in highly complex and diverse samples. According to the company, the Xevo TQ MS
System is uniquely qualified to allow laboratories to conform to the new US Food and Drug Administration’s guidelines for bioanalytical method validation. The intent of the guidance is to prevent errors due to matrix effects made during the toxicological assessment of a target compound or its metabolites; errors than can have life-threatening consequences during clinical trials. With the Xevo family of mass spectrometers, Waters is combining advanced performance with
