The Waters ACQUITY QDA Mass Detector measures the mass-to- charge ratio of analytes at UPLC/UHPLC speeds. This innovation allows users to get instantaneous mass spectral data on every sample component without sending samples to a mass spectrometry lab. At the push
of a button, it powers up in minutes, calibrates itself and runs unattended. Going beyond its initial application for small molecule drugs, the QDa Detector is now routinely used in food safety and biopharmaceutical research, making it the fastest-selling mass spectrometers in Waters Corporation’s more than 50 years of business.
SILVER
Phenomenex’s β-Gone β-Glucuronidase Removal Products are modernising hydrolysed urine cleanup. The 1 mL and 96-Well Plate Protocol and 2 mL Centrifuge Tube Protocol target and remove β-Glucuronidase from hydrolysed urine samples without requiring
additional time or method development. By updating this enzyme-removal process prior to LC/MS analysis, analysts can increase HPLC/UHPLC column lifetime, reduce mass spectrometry maintenance and maintain the selectivity of HPLC/UHPLC columns. Additionally, this procedure can be performed in less than one minute.
BRONZE
The recently launched Optima AUC Analytical Ultracentrifuge by Beckman Coulter Life Sciences returns analytical ultracentrifugation to the centre of protein research and macromolecule characterisation. Combining the power of a centrifuge to provide particle sedimentation
with the functionality of optical modules to detect the sedimentation over time, this product enables remote monitoring and provides data to scientists even faster– leading to new discoveries in less time. Having introduced the fi rst AUC sample characterisation instrument to the scientifi c community this robust system and carries the tradition on into the 21st century.
