TAIPEI, Taiwan– Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) introduces a new data acquisition mode, SONAR™, for its Xevo® G2-XS quadrupole time-of-flight (QTof) mass spectrometer (MS) that provides MS/MS data from data-independent acquisitions (DIA). The technology enables analytical scientists to be more efficient in the laboratory and have more confidence in the results they generate. SONAR data allows for the quantification and identification of lipids, metabolites, and proteins in complex samples from a single injection without additional method development normally associated with MS/MS analysis.

The novel MS acquisition mode was announced at the 15th annual Human Proteome Organization (HUPO) World Congress, where Bob Bateman and John Hoyes, senior MS technology experts atWaters Corporation, are being recognized for advancing mass spectrometry instrumentation.

In modern proteomics experiments, DIA-based mass spectrometry has been a popular technique for capturing data-rich sample profiles. As proteom
