PFAS has excellent chemical properties such as water and oil repellency and surfactant characteristics, and is used in a wide range of fields. On the other hand, due to its persistence and bioaccumulation, numerous cases of PFAS detection in water quality, the environment, and food have been reported both domestically and internationally. As a result, countries are advancing regulations and monitoring efforts, and there is a demand for more sensitive and accurate measurement technologies. In Japan, a ministerial ordinance was announced to raise the water quality standards for "PFOS" and "PFOA," which will take effect in April 2026. Waters is focusing on developing methods for trace analysis of PFAS in various samples.

Many people are struggling with systems that are prone to contamination and time-consuming maintenance. The Xevo TQ Absolute, known for its resistance to contamination thanks to the "ZSpray Ion Source," along with a new source shield, minimizes contamination of the ion source from sample matrices and salts in the mobile phase. It also allows for the removal of neutral molecules before the mass separation section (StepWave XS), concentrating ions for introduction into the mass separation section. This helps maintain the system in a "good condition" for a longer period, maximizing uptime. As a latest high-sensitivity model, it achieves higher sensitivity and lower quantitation limits. Additionally, it is more compact compared to conventional products, reducing power and gas consumption by about 50%, and also decreasing heat generation by approximately 50%. 【Features】 - Sensitivity to anionic compounds improved by up to 15 times (compared to previous products) - Ensures consistent robustness and reproducibility, maintaining performance and productivity over a longer period - Reduces electricity and gas consumption by about 50% compared to typical high-performance TQ mass spectrometers, with heat generation also reduced by about 50%

Extractables and leachables from polymers, monomers, and additives in plastics used in pharmaceutical packaging and single-use systems for biopharmaceuticals must be managed in terms of drug safety and quality. However, the analysis and evaluation of extractables/leachables from plastic products supplied by suppliers often lack clarity regarding the components, presenting numerous challenges. The wide range of technologies offered by Waters can accurately and cost-effectively identify extractables and leachables in a short period.

To better understand cellular functions and physiology, and to monitor the distribution of drug compounds in tissues or the entire organism, full-spectrum molecular imaging has refined and combined the advantages of several analytical techniques into a single device platform. By integrating MALDI, DESI, ion mobility mass spectrometry, and informatics workflows into a single system, Waters' full-spectrum molecular imaging provides detail and molecular information that surpasses any individual imaging technique.

Can we always reach the correct answer in one go with only high-resolution and high-precision mass data? When faced with complex samples containing multiple components, high resolution and precise mass alone may be insufficient to obtain all the information required for comprehensive analysis. The Vion IMS QTof, which opens the door to a new dimension called collision cross-section (CCS), is an innovative mass spectrometer that has never been seen before. There may be important components that have not been discovered yet, buried somewhere.
