Designed for leading researchers working at the limits of conventional mass spectrometry capabilities who need to further characterize and define their samples, Waters Synapt™ HDMS™ system offers unique, enabling functionality.
Synapt High Definition MS SystemWaters Synapt HDMS system enables the analysis of samples differentiated by size and shape, as well as mass, to deliver increased specificity and sample definition beyond that achievable by conventional mass spectrometers.
Utilizing Waters patented Triwave™ technology, the Synapt HDMS™ system combines high-efficiency, ion-mobility based measurements and separations with high-performance quadrupole, time-of-flight mass spectrometry. Triwave incorporates three travelling-wave devices to provide the 'next generation' performance of the Synapt HDMS system.
Each travelling-wave performs a distinct function:
- The first traps and releases packets of ions
- The second separates ions according to their ion mobility
- The third transfers ions to the oa-Tof for mass analysis
The Trap, Separation and Transfer function is a highly reproducible and controllable process, which can occur at time frames compatible with ACQUITY and nanoACQUITY UPLC systems.
The system is complimented by mobility environment software to aid in the visualization and manipulation of high-definition MS data.
To provide you with maximum utility and flexibility in your research laboratory, the Synapt HDMS system is compatible with a wide range of ionization sources.
