The ACQUITY QDa Detector is the mass detector designed as a synergistic element of your chromatographic separations systems. It is mass detection built around the needs of your analytical scientists for their chromatographic analysis.
Imagine a lab where all analytical scientists can acquire high-quality mass spectral data. On their own. Within their existing workflow. Across every sample. Without training. A lab where uncertainty about compounds is replaced by fast, efficient confirmation and the confidence that comes with crossing the LC/MS divide like never before. Now imagine all this happening at the push of a button. This goes far beyond the power of mass detection. This is the ACQUITY® QDaTM Detector from Waters.
Working in harmony with your chromatography, it is pre-optimized to work with your samples, without the sample-specific or user adjustments typical of traditional mass spectrometers. For the first time, any analytical scientist can consistently generate the highest quality mass spectral data, routinely without the need for any special training or expertise thus eliminating any need to contract out and wait for results from specialist analytical service laboratories.
Having the mass spectral information you need, for the analytical confidence you demand, was beyond the reach of most. Until now. This is certainty above all else. This is SEPARATING BEYOND QUESTIONTM.

Detecting Hyper-Fast Chromatographic Peaks Using Ion Mobility Spectrometry
May 6th 2025Ion mobility spectrometers can detect trace compounds quickly, though they can face various issues with detecting certain peaks. University of Hannover scientists created a new system for resolving hyper-fast gas chromatography (GC) peaks.
University of Oklahoma and UC Davis Researchers Probe Lipidomic Profiles with RP-LC–HRMS/MS
May 6th 2025A joint study between the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) and the UC Davis West Coast Metabolomics Center (Davis, California) identified differentially regulated lipids in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity through the application of reversed-phase liquid chromatography-accurate mass tandem mass spectrometry (RP-LC-accurate MS/MS).
Automated Sample Preparation (ISO 20122) for MOSH/MOAH in Seasoning Oils
May 6th 2025This work presents an Automated Sample Preparation procedure for MOSH/MOAH analysis of Seasoning Oils. We compare results from a manual epoxidation procedure compliant with DIN 16995 with results based on fully automated sample preparation (epoxidation and saponification) compliant with ISO 20122. In both cases, online clean-up via activated aluminum oxide (AlOx) are used to remove interfering n-alkanes from the MOSH fraction during the HPLC run. Automated data evaluation using a dedicated software (GERSTEL ChroMOH) is presented.
