Audience and purpose

This guide is for operators of varying levels of experience. It gives an overview

of the instrument and explains how to prepare it for operation, switch between

modes of operation, and maintain it.

Intended use of the Xevo TQD

Waters designed the Xevo TQD for use as a research tool to accurately,

reproducibly, and robustly quantify target compounds present at the lowest

possible levels in highly complex sample matrices. The Xevo TQD is not

intended for use in diagnostic applications.

When fitted with Waters APCI, APGC, APPI, ASAP, ESCi

, NanoFlow™ ESI,

or TRIZAIC

UPLC

options, or optional third-party sources (DART

, DESI,

or LDTD™), the Xevo TQD does not comply with the European Union In Vitro

Diagnostic Device Directive 98/79/EC.

Calibrating

To calibrate LC systems, follow acceptable calibration methods using at least

five standards to generate a standard curve. The concentration range for

standards should include the entire range of QC 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.

Quality control

Routinely run three QC samples that represent subnormal, normal, and

above-normal levels of a compound. If sample trays are the same or very

similar, vary the location of the QC samples in the trays. Ensure that QC

sample results fall within an acceptable range, and evaluate precision from

day to day and run to run. Data collected when QC samples are out of range

might not be valid. Do not report these data until you are certain that the

instrument performs satisfactorily.
