Waters Corporation Unveils Xevo MRT Mass Spectrometer Advancement

The field of mass spectrometry has reached a new milestone with the unveiling of the Xevo™ MRT by Waters Corporation. This cutting-edge benchtop mass spectrometer is specifically designed to cater to the needs of large-scale population and epidemiology studies, offering unparalleled resolution and speed.

The Xevo MRT combines multi-reflecting time-of-flight (MRT) and hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight (QTof) technologies to deliver exceptional analytical performance. With a resolution of 100,000 full width half maximum (FWHM) at 100 Hz MS/MS scan speed and mass accuracy of less than 500 parts per billion (ppb), this system enables precise analysis of biologically relevant concentrations with unmatched accuracy.

Experts hail the Xevo MRT MS as a groundbreaking advancement in mass spectrometry technology, facilitating higher sample throughput, increased precision, and faster data acquisition rates. This innovation plays a vital role in expediting target validation, phenotyping studies, and the development of diagnostic tests for diseases such as Parkinson's.

The multi-reflecting time-of-flight design of the Xevo MRT empowers scientists to operate at maximum resolution with high sensitivity and rapid data acquisition rates, ensuring reliable identification of analytes across a wide range of samples and matrices. Waters Corporation offers comprehensive workflows for metabolomic, lipidomic, and metabolite identification, complemented by their ACQUITY™ UPLC™ Systems and waters_connect™ Software.

The Xevo MRT MS is now available for order, with shipments anticipated in the second half of 2024. Waters Corporation, a pioneer in analytical instruments and software for over 65 years, continues to lead the way in chromatography, mass spectrometry, and thermal analysis innovations, serving diverse scientific fields worldwide.

The introduction of the Xevo MRT Mass Spectrometer marks a significant leap forward in analytical capabilities, promising enhanced precision, speed, and efficiency for researchers and scientists engaged in a wide array of studies. This state-of-the-art technology not only streamlines analytical processes but also opens up new possibilities for advancing scientific research and discovery across various disciplines.
