Waters Boosts Lab Productivity and Sample Throughput with Launch of its Charged Aerosol Detector Designed for Empower Software
"Customers want a better experience controlling CAD as part of their chromatographic analysis, with 70% noting recurring dropped CDS communications when using multi-vendor LC-CAD configurations," said James Hallam , Vice President, Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry, Waters Corporation. "Waters' CAD resolves these issues with a robust, easy-to-adopt, single-vendor solution for LC-CAD methods – underpinned by our familiar, compliance-ready Empower Software."
The Waters CAD delivers competitive dynamic range and sensitivity, alongside optimized compatibility with MaxPeak™ High-Performance Surfaces that mitigate non-specific adsorption. The new detector can be used with a wide range of Waters liquid chromatography systems, including the Alliance™ iS HPLC System, the Arc™ HPLC System, and all ACQUITY™ UPLC™ Systems.
The seamless integration of this CAD with broadly-adopted Empower Software delivers an enhanced user experience, supported by Waters' leading support and service provision. Issues commonly seen in multi-vendor LC-CAD systems, including challenging set-up and dropped communication between detector and chromatograph – leading to interrupted sample sets and in some cases detector flooding – are significantly reduced when using a Waters LC-CAD configured with Empower CDS. In addition, methods developed for existing CADs can be easily transferred using built-in tools.
The introduction of the Waters Charged Aerosol Detector reinforces the Company's commitment to provide the world's widest range of liquid chromatography detectors, all compatible with Empower Software – enabling scientists to fully characterize the physical and chemical properties of molecules within a secure and compliant workflow.
Availability: The Waters Charged Aerosol Detector (CAD) is available for pre-order now, with shipments available by April 2026 .
