The Waters 3100 Mass Detector is a compact, single-quadrupole atmospheric pressure ionization (API) mass detector that provides selectivity, sensitivity, and throughput with faster scan speeds.     Designed specifically for chromatographers performing LC/MS analysis, it offers a simple yet powerful solution for multi-tasking, fast-paced laboratory environments – with robust and reliable performance, and walk-up operation for any expertise level.     With very short columns producing fast separations, the 3100 scanning speed can easily keep up with your most demanding requirements. It is typically used for easy identification of compounds in applications ranging from peak purity and impurity profiling, to syntheses confirmation, to product deformulation, to enhanced method development with molecular weight-based peak tracking. For preparative analyses, the 3100 Mass Detector decreases the number of fractions to be handled in the post-purification phase and provides online mass confirmation.     Features:  
     
  1. Interactive diagnostics software for worry-free system and fluidics optimization and performance checks with IntelliStart™ Technology  
  2. 1 pg sensitivity with either ESI or APCI  
  3. 10,000 Da/sec scan speeds up to 2,000 Da for full compatibility with seconds-wide fast LC peaks  
  4. Simple upkeep and minimal bench space requirements  
  5. Dual orthogonal sampling ionization with ZSpray™ source  
  6. Rapid polarity switching and multi-mode ionization with simultaneous APCI and ESI for comprehensive compound analyses in a single injection, with ESCi® Technology  
  7. Multiple detection strategies available with supported Tunable UV (TUV), Photodiode Array (PDA), and Evaporative Light Scattering (ELS) optical detectors  
  8. Control and data acquisition with Empower™ or MassLynx™ Software  
  9. Optional APPI (Atmospheric Pressure Photo-Ionization) available

Features of 3100 Mass Detector
Rapid Data Acquisition Capability  
      
  • Rapid HPLC separations with shorter columns to maximize sample throughput  
   Automated Instrument Optimization and Quantitative method Development Tools  
      
  • IntelliStart™ Software automates setting up the MS hardware (mass resolution, mass calibration, ion source optimization) and the process of developing compound-specific SIR data acquisition methods  
  • QuanOptimize™, a sophisticated, optional software package, is available for comprehensive automation of the entire process of quantitation (method setup, data acquisition, data processing, and reporting)   
   Versatile Range of Robust Ionization Options  
      
  • Robust dual orthogonal API source (ZSpray™): Maximizes source longevity, protects against dirty samples, and allows easy removal and cleaning of source elements without breaking vacuum  
  • Ionization options include: standard electrospray and multi-mode ionization capability (ESCi®), atmospheric chemical ionization, and dual-mode atmospheric pressure photo-ionization / atmospheric chemical ionization interface   
   Comprehensive Software Control and Applications  
      
  • MassLynx™ MS Software or Empower™ 2 CDS Software solutions suit your analytical requirements  
  • Optional OpenLynx™ Application Manager provides walk-up access to non-expert users for UPLC/MS applications  
  • Optional FractionLynx™ Application Manager, as part of an autopurification system. Mass directed autopurification automates sample purification, including the control of fraction collection as well as sample, fraction and data tracking  
   Intelligent Services Delivery Platform  
      
  • Connections INSIGHT® intelligent services provides on-demand, remote diagnostics and online help for your LC/MS system  
   IntelliStart Technology      IntelliStart™ Technology automates system setup so that non-expert users can acquire data with confidence that the system is operating optimally.       An integrated system of fluidics, electronics, and software continually monitors system performance. Through a series of diagnostic checks, the MS detector can report when it is ready for use. Any failures trigger a red-light system status, which warns that action may be required before analysis can proceed.      IntelliStart Technology:  
      
  • Resolves system alerts  
  • Autotunes and calibrates the system, optimized for your analysis  
  • Automatically generates SIR methods with ease using integrated fluidics  
  • Reports on your LC/MS system performance
