33 1 3048 7200From the inherently robust Xevo family, the Xevo TQ-S micro tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer provides superior performance per square inch and exceptional analytical flexibility.
Achieve your objectives in full with operational performance you can rely on. A Xevo TQ-S micro study analyzing mycotoxins in wheat flour (a complex matrix that can contaminate LC/MS instrumentation) showed consistent performance over 5 days of continuous use with 1000 injections and only 5-9% relative standard deviation (RSD) for peak areas.
Get the most from your instrument and avoid time-consuming repair visits. Customers using the Xevo TQ-S micro will on average not need an unplanned service visit during the warranty period and for 3 years after.*
*Source Waters internal service data on unplanned service visits for Xevo TQ-S micro issues that occur globally. Note that warranty period used is 1 year and planned visits for regular scheduled Performance Maintenance are recommended to ensure trouble-free operation
Waters Xevo TQ-S micro Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry: With benchspace at a premium, choose an instrument designed to maximize performance per square inch.
With the most commonly used atmospheric pressure ionization source of ESI as standard, simply change chromatographic inlet or ionization source to extend your analytical capacity and meet changing demands.
Be confident that you will have reliable data over multi-day studies. Two experiments using the Xevo TQ-S micro provide evidence for the longer-term stability of this instrument. By monitoring peak areas whilst running continuous injections, you can see that the Xevo TQ-S micro won’t let you down.
Experiment 1 – 4 mycotoxins in wheat flour showed consistent performance over 5 days of continuous use with 1,000 injections and only 5-9% RSD for peak areas.

As a leading technology innovator in chromatography, mass spectrometry, and thermal analysis instruments and software, Waters shares a common mission with our customers: to leave the world a better place than we found it. Many of our customers are actively working to address environmental sustainability while balancing the need to continually reduce operational costs. The Xevo TQ-S micro consumes less electricity than other instruments in its class and therefore produces less heat – lessening the need for air conditioning and lowering costs.
