The Oasis® uElution plate format combined with the Oasis chemistries allow elution volumes as low as 25uL, eliminating the time consuming evaporation step, producing very clean extracts with a 5 to 10 fold increase in concentration.The Oasis® family of sample extraction products is designed to simplify and improve your sample preparation by combining the right sorbent chemistry, device format and methodology. Achieve robust, selective, and sensitive solid-phase extraction [SPE] methods without worrying about low recoveries caused by breakthrough, sorbent drying, pH limitations, and undesirable silanol activity.Oasis® SPE sorbents—covered by eight U.S. patents—are unique in their purity, reproducibility, stability, and retention characteristics. Today, they are the most widely used polymeric SPE products in bioanalytical laboratories.
The most powerful solution to the most critical need in separation science today.
High Performance from a compact design with rapid, reliable and reproducible quantitative data.
The TargetLynx™ Application Manager automates sample data acquisition, processing and reporting for quantitative results.It incorporates a range of confirmatory checks that identify samples that fall outside user-specified or regulatory thresholds. Identify Non-compliant Samples TargetLynx rapidly identifies and flags samples where: Analytes are above a specified maximum reporting level (MRL) Analyte confirmatory ion ratios are outside specified limits One or more analyte signal-to-noise ratios are below a defined value An analyte retention time or relative retention time is outside limits An analyte concentration is below set LOD and LOQ thresholds The standard deviation of response for QC standards exceeds a defined value The blank response is too high The coefficient of determination (r2) of the calibration curve exceeds a defined value LC/MS & LC/MS/MS and GC/MS & GC/MS/MS Use TargetLynx to quantify and confirm both LC/MS & LC/MS/MS and GC/MS & GC/MS/MS data. This data may be selected ion monitoring (SIM), multiple reaction monitoring (MRM), or full scan/full spectrum. In the case of full scan/spectrum data, extracted ion chromatograms are used for quantification. Ensure Regulatory Compliance The demand by regulatory authorities for assurance of confirmation in quantitative analysis continues to increase. To ensure cost-effective compliance, TargetLynx offers software that gives you confidence in your results and eliminates time-consuming, costly manual checks.
Acquire, Analyze, Manage, and Share Mass Spectrometry Information MassLynx™ Software increases the speed at which you can convert your sample data into valuable knowledge. It provides you with the fundamental platform to acquire, analyze, manage, and share your mass spectrometry information. MassLynx intelligently controls any Waters mass spectrometry system, from sample and solvent management components to mass spectrometer and auxiliary detectors. MassLynx Software may acquire nominal mass, exact mass, MS/MS and exact mass MS/MS data. MassLynx’s Sample List is the core of the system. It maintains and consolidates the data on all of your samples. You also initiate any activities related to your sample from the Sample List. This "sample centric" approach simplifies the interaction with your LC/MS or GC/MS system, acquired data and processed results. Process Application-specific Data MassLynx Software features general purpose and specialized Application Managers that provide information for your specific MS analyses and data. Two come standard with MassLynx: QuanLynx™ for automated quantification included as standard with MassLynx OpenLynx™ for qualitative screening and identification Optional Application Managers can perform: Targeted quantitative analysis Mass-directed purification Metabolite identification Deconvolution of complex chromatograms Metabonomics & metabolomics Protein identification and protein characterization
