News Summary:

Waters Xevo™ MRT Mass Spectrometer employs next-generation multi-reflecting time-of-flight technology to deliver class-leading combination of high resolution and speed without compromising analytical performance.iDelivers up to 6x resolution at maximum speed and up to 2x mass accuracy of competitive systems,ii enabling scientists to process more samples in less time for large-cohort biomedical research and epidemiology-type studies.Complete workflows available for metabolomic, lipidomic, and metabolite identification enables customer flexibility and convenience using Waters™ software, columns, and instruments for high throughput separations, and universal data-sharing with third-party software applications.

ANAHEIM, Calif., and MILFORD, Mass., June 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — 72nd ASMS Conference on Mass Spectrometry and Allied Topics – Waters Corporation (NYSE: WAT) today unveiled the Xevo™ MRT, its highest-performing benchtop mass spectrometer (MS), setting new standards for delivering high resolution and speed, critical for large population and epidemiology-type studies. It builds on the innovative technology pioneered by the Waters SELECT SERIES™ MRT MS. The new Xevo MRT MS combines the raw power and resolution speed of multi-reflecting time-of-flight (MRT) and hybrid quadrupole time-of-flight (QTof) technologies within a flexible benchtop platform.

Laboratory products that obtain the ACT Ecolabel make it easier for scientists to make more sustainable choices.

“Understanding complex diseases requires analysis of thousands of samples from large human cohorts to provide statistically valid studies. This puts increased pressure on drug discovery scientists to deliver high-quality data in shorter run times,” said Dr. Udit Batra, CEO and President of Waters Corporation. “The Xevo MRT mass spectrometer is a next generation QTof built from the ground up to address this unmet need, delivering high resolution and speed without compromising analytical performance. Its multi-reflecting time-of-flight design enables simultaneous high sensitivity, high resolution, and speed in a small footprint, accelerating time-to-results and ensuring high-quality experimental outcomes.”

The Xevo MRT system delivers a class-leadingiii 100,000 full width half maximum (FWHM) resolution at 100 Hz MS/MS scan speed and <500 parts per billion (ppb) mass accuracy. This enables deeper probing of biologically relevant concentrations with high levels of mass accuracy, independent of acquisition rate.

“A range of mass spec approaches are available for metabolomic, lipidomic, and metabolite identification studies, yet all require compromises to be made – either in data quality or analytical efficiency,” said Professor Perdita Barran, Chair of Mass Spectroscopy in the University of Manchester (UK) Department of Chemistry and Director of the Michael Barber Centre for Collaborative Mass Spectrometry at the Manchester Institute of Biotechnology. “The Xevo MRT MS is impressive technology capable of higher sample throughput combined with extremely high precision, which can significantly advance target validation and phenotyping studies. The increase in scan speed and data quality are critical as it can allow us to run more samples in less time without compromising confidence in our data and we are very excited by how this is allowing us to accelerate the development of a diagnostic test for Parkinson’s Disease.”

The innovative multi-reflecting time-of-flight design of the Xevo MRT MS offers scientists the power to work at maximum resolution with high sensitivity and fast data acquisition rates. This helps ensure confident identification of analytes across a range of samples and complex matrices and generate comprehensive and highly accurate mass data for scientific interpretation.

Waters offers complete workflows for metabolomic, lipidomic, and metabolite identification for the Xevo MRT MS, alongside Waters high throughput ACQUITY™ UPLC™ Systems and UPLC Column chemistries and waters_connect™ Software for data acquisition, processing, and reporting. The system supports universal data-sharing via mzML file formats with third-party informatics software, including popular applications from Mass Analytica™ such as its MARS, Lipostar2, and MassMetaSite software offerings.

The Waters Xevo MRT MS is orderable today for shipment in the second half of 2024.

Monnit Introduces NIST Detachable Leads to Streamline Compliance Monitoring

Published

June 18, 2026

New hot-swappable lead architecture reduces downtime, simplifies recertification, and helps organizations maintain continuous monitoring.

SALT LAKE CITY, June 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Monnit announced new NIST Standard and Low Temperature and Humidity Detachable Leads for compatible ALTA® Sensor Bases designed to simplify sensor recertification, reduce downtime, and support continuous compliance monitoring.

“Organizations shouldn’t have to choose between maintaining compliance and operational continuity,” said Brad Walters, Founder and CEO of Monnit. “Our detachable lead architecture allows customers to hot-swap certified leads in minutes while preserving traceability and keeping trusted monitoring programs running.”

Each NIST Detachable Lead is uniquely calibrated and designed to support traceability requirements aligned with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) standards.

Rather than removing and shipping an entire sensor for recertification, customers can disconnect only the lead, connect a certified replacement, and send the original lead for recalibration. This approach is ideal for pharmaceuticals, healthcare facilities, laboratories, food storage operations, manufacturing environments, and other applications that require calibration records.

In addition to these hot-swappable, removable leads or cables with probes, we offer short Monnit Standard Temperature and Humidity Detachable Non-Leaded Probes that you can connect to compatible sensor bases.

Each NIST Detachable Lead or Probe connects to compatible ALTA Industrial and Enterprise Sensor Bases via sealed, keyed M8 6-pin connectors designed for field installation. Embedded memory within the lead stores unique lead and sensor identification, calibration data, certification information, and traceability records.

Key features and benefits include:

Hot-swappable lead replacement that minimizes downtime and monitoring interruptionsNIST-traceable calibration support and ISO 17025-accredited lab certificationSupport for FDA 21 CFR Part 11 workflows and audit programsAutomatic synchronization of calibration information with iMonnit® SoftwareLogging of lead connection and disconnection events in iMonnitHot-swapping capability while powered on or off for easier servicing

Monnit and its accredited lab partner, Sensor Calibrations, provide 25-month certificates for NIST Detachable Standard Temperature Leads and 13-month certificates for NIST Detachable Low Temperature and Humidity Leads.

Compatible ALTA Sensor Bases automatically recognize connected lead types and maintain digital maintenance records, helping organizations avoid monitoring gaps caused by traditional recertification.

About Monnit Corporation
The origin story of the Internet of Things (IoT) begins with Monnit. Before our inception in 2010, we were already at the forefront of embedding technology into machines and devices to enable them to talk and deliver valuable data to business leaders. Monnit Remote Monitoring Solutions for nearly any industry use case have delivered 72B+ data points in 130+ countries for 90K+ customers. Monnit’s 80+ long-range IoT sensors remotely monitor many conditions such as temperature, light, humidity, water, vibration, pressure, and more. You can analyze data using iMonnit cloud software and get alerts via email, text, push notification, or call when our sensors detect a change you should know.
