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

1 Waters Xevo TQ-S Overview
IntelliStart technology
IntelliStart™ technology monitors LC/MS/MS performance and indicates
when the mass spectrometer 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. (See
further details.)
The IntelliStart fluidics system
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, enabling you to optimize instrument performance
at analytical flow rates.
Recommendation:
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
The Waters Xevo TQ-S is compatible with the ACQUITY UPLC
you are not using an ACQUITY UPLC system, refer to the documentation
relevant to your LC system (see
TQ-S" on page
ACQUITY UPLC system
The ACQUITY UPLC system includes a binary solvent manager, sample
manager, column heater, optional sample organizer, optional column
manager, optional detectors, a specialized ACQUITY UPLC column, and
software to control the system.
1. 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.
