This machine is my pal, essential to productivity.
Rating: 4.3

  • Application Area:Analyze phosphoinositides in tissue and cultured cells

"I have used Thermo and AB Sciex triple quadropole instruments in addition to Waters Xevo to measure cellular phosphoinositides that have been derivatized with trimethylsilyl-diazomethane. The Waters Xevo TQ S with Acquity UPLC and MassLynx software tops them all for ease of use and reproducibility. While they may all have adequate sensitivities, the Xevo delivers the most consistent results with the least amount of fuss. MassLynx, while not without its glitches is by far the most intuitive and easy to use when compared with AB Sciex and Thermo Xcalibur software. Although, I was not the purchaser, this is the brand I would purchase if given the choice."

If we need sensitivity, it’s the instrument of choice.
Rating: 5.0

  • Application Area:Monitoring of contaminants in food samples

"We set out to develop advanced analytical methodology to improve the monitoring of contaminants in food samples. The increased sensitivity of the Xevo TQ-S with APGC enabled us to develop and test a method that would increase the number of contaminants detected at much lower levels in the most complex samples."

The instrument is sensitive to achieve the LLOQ in pg/mL
Rating: 4.0

  • Application Area:Analysis of small molecules

"The instrument is sensitive to achieve the LLOQ in pg/mL but depends upon the analyte. Just a complicated issue on the use of software, as having to handle the different method for the batch submission and also mass spec calibration file is not linked internally."

  • Application Area:Food

"The Waters brand is the best for LC-MS/MS, and it has been proven again with the Xevo TQ-S. The instrument puts itself top in sensitivity. If you perform some residue analysis such as antibiotics, pesticides etc in food you can choose without thinking. However the most important disadvantage is the price because it is so expensive."
