Uses and compatibility 1-5
IntelliStart technology
IntelliStart™ technology monitors LC/MS/MS performance and reports when
the instrument is ready for use.
The software automatically tunes and mass calibrates the instrument and
displays performance readbacks. Integrated with MassLynx™ mass
spectrometry software and ACQUITY
®
UPLC Console software, it enables
simplified setup of the system for use in routine analytical and open access
applications. (See page 1-7 .)
The IntelliStart Fluidics
1
system is built into the instrument. It delivers
sample directly to the MS probe from the LC column or from two integral
reservoirs. The integral reservoirs can also deliver sample through direct or
combined infusion so that you can optimize instrument performance at
analytical flow rates. See the instrument’s online Help for further details of
IntelliStart.
ACQUITY H-Class and nanoACQUITY Xevo TQD UPLC/MS
systems
The Waters Xevo TQD is compatible with the ACQUITY UPLC
®
H-Class and
nanoACQUITY UPLC
®
systems. If you are not using either system, refer to
the documentation relevant to your LC system.
The ACQUITY Xevo TQD UPLC/MS system includes an ACQUITY UPLC
H-Class system and the Waters Xevo TQD fitted with the ESI/APCI/ESCi
source.
The nanoACQUITY Xevo TQD UPLC/MS system includes a nanoACQUITY
UPLC system and the Xevo TQD fitted with the Nanoflow source.
If you are not using your instrument as part of an ACQUITY UPLC system,
refer to the documentation for your LC system.
1. In Waters product documentation, the term “fluidics” denotes plumbing connections and components
and the fluid pathways within and among instruments or devices. It also appears in the product name
“IntelliStart™ Fluidics” where it describes a mass spectrometer’s integral apparatus for delivering
sample and solvent directly to the instrument’s probe. Finally, the term can arise in the context of a
component part name, as in “fluidics drawer”.
