Intended use
Waters designed the TQ (for tandem quadrupole) Detector IVD to deliver
authenticated mass measurement in both MS and MS/MS modes.
The Waters TQ Detector IVD can be used for general in vitro diagnostic
applications. However, only professionally trained and qualified laboratory
personnel can use the instrument for those purposes.
Calibrating
To calibrate LC systems, follow acceptable calibration methods using at least
five standards to generate a standard curve. The concentration range for
standards must cover the entire range of quality-control samples, typical
specimens, and atypical specimens.
When calibrating mass spectrometers, consult the calibration section of the
operator’s guide for the instrument you are calibrating. In cases where an
overview and maintenance guide, not operator’s guide, accompanies the
instrument, consult the instrument’s online Help system for calibration
instructions.
The Waters TQ Detector IVD is CE-marked according to the
European Union In Vitro Diagnostic Device Directive 98/79/EC.
