Charged Aerosol Detector

Empower Software solutions simplify sample analysis and deliver meaningful results without downtime for training, workflow reengineering, or adding new software to support instruments or advanced chromatographic methods. Waters CAD is an easy-to-implement solution that includes Empower Software-based qualification, ensuring seamless integration into regulated workflows. It supports the rapid and seamless transfer of existing methods to Waters systems and offers a single-source solution for the entire process—from liquid chromatography and detection to service. This provides an optimal single point of contact for service, installation, and troubleshooting, while minimizing unnecessary system downtime and other issues associated with configuring solutions from multiple vendors in relevant laboratory environments.

Laboratories often transfer analytical methods within their organization or to external contractors, who may use different instruments for analysis. Ensuring method equivalence across different laboratories is critical to minimizing productivity losses or the need for revalidation of methods, regardless of the analyst or instrument used.

The Waters CAD system preserves the simplicity of existing methods while adding a robust set of features and tools for method transfer. It features an intuitive ACQUITY console control panel and simplifies the replacement of legacy technologies, facilitating seamless method transfer between systems across the entire laboratory network

Waters CAD offers a low barrier to entry for the Empower software, with optimized hardware enhancements for improved usability and support. Waters CAD is designed with a single filter manifold, enabling easy filter replacement via a push/pull method. The nebulizer is easy to replace for optimal maintenance. The instrument and console control the bypass valve in the CAD, which redirects the flow to waste if gas pressure is lost or the system reports an error to the CAD. In addition, the Waters CAD offers enhanced leak detection and flood protection to prevent and protect your lab in the event of accidental flooding due to a CDS communication interruption.
