Atmospheric Solids Analysis Probe (Asap); Atmospheric Pressure Gas Chromatography (Apgc) - Waters Xevo TQ-S Operator's, Overview And Maintenance Manual

The following options are available for the spraying capillary:
• Universal nebulizer sprayer (Nano-LC).
This option is for flow injection or for coupling to nano-UPLC. It uses a
pump to regulate the flow rate downward to 100 nL/min. If a syringe
pump is used, a gas-tight syringe is necessary to effect correct flow rates
without leakage. A volume of 250 µL is recommended.
• Borosilicate glass capillaries (nanovials).
Metal-coated, glass capillaries allow the lowest flow rates. Usable for
one sample, they must then be discarded.
• Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) or Capillary Electrochromatography
(CEC) sprayer.
This option uses a make-up liquid at the capillary tip that provides a
stable electrospray. The make-up flow rate is less than 1 µL/min.

Atmospheric solids analysis probe (ASAP)

The ASAP facilitates rapid analysis of volatile and semi-volatile compounds in
solids, liquids, and polymers. It is particularly suited to analyzing low-polarity
compounds.
The ASAP directly replaces the electrospray or IonSABRE II probe in the
instrument's source housing and has no external gas or electrical connections.
See the Atmospheric Solids Analysis Probe Operator's Guide Supplement for
further details.

Atmospheric pressure gas chromatography (APGC)

The Waters APGC couples an Agilent GC with the Xevo TQ-S. Doing so makes
possible performing LC and GC analyses in the same system, without
compromising performance. The APGC provides complementary information
to the LCMS instrument, enabling analysis of compounds of low molecular
weight and/or low-to- intermediate polarity.
See the Atmosheric Pressure GC Operator's Guide Supplement for further
details.
