1.1 IntelliStart technology

IntelliStart technology monitors instrument performance and indicates when the instrument is
ready for use.
The software automatically tunes and mass calibrates the instrument, displays performance
readbacks, and enables simplified setup of the system for use in routine analytical and open-
access applications.
The IntelliStart fluidics system
the MS probe from the LC column or from three integral reservoirs. The integral reservoirs can
also deliver sample through direct or combined infusion, enabling you to optimize instrument
performance at analytical flow rates.

In Waters documents, the term "fluidics" refers to the IntelliStart Fluidics system, which is the instrument's onboard system that
delivers sample and solvent to the probe of the mass spectrometer. It can also denote plumbing components and fluid pathways
within and between system modules.
