- Classify samples with real time recognition
- Straightforward operation and data interpretation
- Go from analysis to decision making in seconds
Bringing the benefits of real time direct analysis to your laboratory
DART is a desorption APCI (atmospheric pressure chemical ionization) technique where heated, ionized gas is directed at a target between the DART interface and the QDa mass detector. It can ionize molecules from the surface of a solid, liquid or vapor making it applicable to a broad range of applications. The speed of generating mass spectra with minimal or no sample preparation makes DART QDa an ideal tool within laboratories where rapid informed decisions are necessary.
Rapid, easy-to-interpret classification of samples
The LiveID software platform enables real-time classification of sampling using DART QDa. Information is provided to the user immediately at the time of analysis, enabling informed and instant decision making while removing doubt over sample identity. First, authentic or verified samples are used to create and validate a statistical model. The validated model can then be used with test samples and generate live classifications. The output is a simple to interpret yes/no answer.
Real-Time Authentication of Food and Beverages Using DART QDa LiveID Analysis
Here Waters Corporation investigates the potential for Direct Analysis in Real Time (DART) coupled with QDa mass detection and LiveID Software for the rapid screening of high-value food and beverage samples with minimal sample preparation. Chemometric models for product verification have been generated using authentic reference samples of premium whiskey, palm oils, and ground cinnamon and cassia.
• Rapid, sample-preparation-free solution for informed and immediate decision making.
• Small, easy-to-use direct ionization MS providing an end-to-end workflow.
• Answer questions such as: Is the sample authentic? Has the composition changed? Is the sample of good or bad quality?
• LiveID Software enables real-time classification of samples. The output is a simple to interpret yes/no answer.
