Waters Analytical System Approved for IVD Field

Waters has announced that its ACQUITY UPLC I-Class IVD/Xevo TQD IVD system has been approved by the State Food and Drug Administration (CFDA) for the analysis of a wide range of compounds in in vitro diagnostic (IVD) applications, including Diagnostic indicators and therapeutic monitoring compounds, etc. Earlier this year, the CFDA also approved the company's ACQUITY UPLC I-Class IVD/Xevo TQ-S IVD system for similar clinical analysis applications.

Jeff Mazzeo, senior director of Waters Health Sciences, said: "As medical practices shift from passively seeking coping to more proactive prevention and treatment, the need for clinical testing for LC-MS technology is increasing. ."

According to the introduction, liquid chromatography of LC-MS technology is used to separate analytes and interferents in specific samples, while mass spectrometry is used to detect and identify isolated substances. With the help of LC-MS technology, medical laboratories can conduct qualitative and quantitative analysis of patients' biological samples, assisting clinicians in diagnosis and treatment from various aspects, including confirming clinical suspected cases and conducting disease diagnosis, assisting selection, optimization and Monitor treatments, provide information on disease prognosis, screen for disease in the absence of clinical signs, determine and monitor the severity of physiological damage, and so on.

“The ACQUITY UPLC I-Class IVD/Xevo TQD IVD System and the ACQUITY UPLC I-Class IVD/Xevo TQ-S IVD System are particularly important for approval by the Chinese Food and Drug Administration, which will assist clinicians in better disease. Medical treatment," said Jeff Mazzeo.

It is understood that in 2014, Waters realized a revenue of 1.99 billion US dollars. As a pioneer in separation science, laboratory information management, mass spectrometry and thermal analysis technology, Waters has built a testing and analysis platform to promote medical services by providing practical and innovative technologies and laboratory solutions for more than 50 years. Development in areas such as environmental management and food safety.
