Acquity Uplc/Ms Xevo Tq-S Systems - Waters Xevo TQ-S Operator's, Overview And Maintenance Manual

The IntelliStart software automatically tunes and mass calibrates the mass
spectrometer and displays performance readbacks. Integrated with
MassLynx™ mass spectrometry software and Instrument Console software,
IntelliStart software enables simplified setup of the system for use in routine
analytical and open access applications (see "Software and data system" on
page 1-5).

The IntelliStart Fluidics system is built into the mass spectrometer. It
delivers sample directly to the MS probe from the LC column or from three
integral reservoirs. The integral reservoirs can also deliver sample through
direct or combined infusion so that you can optimize instrument performance
at analytical flow rates.
Use reservoir A for the calibrant solution, reservoir B for

tuning compounds, and reservoir C for analyte/optimization solution.
A fourth reservoir contains solvent for automated flushing of the solvent
delivery system.
See the mass spectrometer's online Help for further details on IntelliStart
technology.

ACQUITY UPLC/MS Xevo TQ-S systems

®
The Waters Xevo TQ-S is compatible with the ACQUITY UPLC systems; if
you are not using an ACQUITY UPLC system, refer to the documentation
relevant to your LC system (see "Non-ACQUITY devices for use with the Xevo
TQ-S" on page 1-4).
ACQUITY UPLC system
The ACQUITY UPLC system includes a binary solvent manager, sample
manager, column heater, optional sample organizer, optional column
manager, optional detectors, and a specialized ACQUITY UPLC column.
WatersMassLynx mass spectrometry software controls the system.
