MILFORD, Mass., Dec. 9 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Waters Corporation
(NYSE: WAT) announced today that it has shipped the first units of
its ground-breaking SYNAPT(TM) G2 Mass Spectrometer, first
introduced at the 2009 American Society of Mass Spectrometry (ASMS)
annual conference in Philadelphia in June. The instruments are
destined for key academic research centers across Europe, North
America and Asia and for global pharmaceutical companies and
chemical research laboratories. "SYNAPT G2 is truly a major leap
forward in mass spectrometry," said Brian Smith, Vice President,
Mass Spectrometry Business Operations, Waters Division. "We're very
pleased by the overwhelming response of research scientists to the
technology. SYNAPT G2 creates new opportunities for them to solve
fundamental research challenges." Initial customers for the
next-generation SYNAPT G2 technology are applying the technology
across a broad spectrum of applications from protein
characterization, proteomics, metabolite identification studies,
and metabolomics to material science research. About Waters SYNAPT
G2 System (http://www.waters.com/synapt) The SYNAPT G2 has higher
resolution (>40,000 FWHM) orthogonal acceleration time-of-flight
(oa-Tof) technology and a wider quantitative dynamic range (up to
five orders of magnitude) than its predecessor, and also features
next-generation ion mobility separations technology that separates
similar sample components - based on size, charge, mass, and shape
- better than ever before allowing scientists to identify sample
components that might have remained invisible to them until now.
Taken together, these features deliver greater analytical power to
scientists enabling them to escalate their research projects to a
new level for biopharmaceutical, metabolite identification,
metabonomics, proteomics, biomarker studies, and food and
environmental applications. About Waters Corporation
