Waters TQ Detector Overview

Overview

Waters TQ Detector

The Waters

®

 TQ Detector is a tandem quadrupole, atmospheric pressure 

ionization (API) mass spectrometer. Designed for routine UPLC™/MS/MS 
analyses in quantitative and qualitative applications, it can operate at fast 
acquisition speeds compatible with ultra performance LC.

Waters provides these ion sources with the instrument as standard 
equipment:

•

ZSpray™ (dual orthogonal sampling) interface.

•

Multi-mode ESCi

®

 ionization switching for atmospheric pressure 

chemical ionization (APCI) and electrospray ionization (ESI).

Optional ionization modes are IonSABRE™ APCI and APPI (atmospheric 
pressure photoionization).

For TQ Detector specifications, see the Waters TQ Detector Site Preparation 
Guide.
