Waters has launched the powerful next-generation, high performance, mass spectrometer, Synapt G2 System, taking qualitative and quantitative quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry to new heights.

The Synapt G2 system features new QuanTof and enhanced High Definition MS technologies intended to accelerate scientists toward their research goals. It provides researchers with intuitive operation, application flexibility and a totally new level of performance for biopharmaceutical, metabolite identification, metabonomics, proteomics, biomarker studies, and food and environmental applications.

The product was introduced at the 57th American Society for Mass Spectrometry (ASMS) Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics in Philadelphia, PA.

For scientists this means performance in excess of 40,000 FWHM resolution, class-leading sensitivity, a data acquisition rate of 20 spectra/second, exact mass (1 ppm RMS) information and a dynamic range of up to five orders of magnitude. When paired with Waters Acquity UltraPerformance LC (UPLC) technology, Synapt G2 Mass Spectrometer makes maximum use of the power and speed of UPLC outclassing all other LC/MS and LC/MS/MS systems.

With the noval system, scientists can make new discoveries and sound decisions based on the comprehensive, accurate and precise data that they can obtain from highly complex samples in just a single analytical run and at unprecedented speed.

"Incremental improvements in instrument performance are important drivers for advancing MS-based studies, but it's the combination of Synapt G2's high resolution, wide quantitative dynamic range and enhanced ion mobility resolution," stated Prof James Scrivens, University of Warwick.

Synapt G2 is a new opportunity for the global research community attempting to solve fundamental problems at the molecular level," said Brian Smith, vice president, Mass Spectrometry Business Operations, Waters Division.
