ABSCIEX與德供水公司合作改進飲用水中污染物的鑒定方法

科學家的目標是，在AB SCIEX公司TripleTOF?5600上開發新的測試方法，用于全面篩查未知有機物

　　加利福尼亞州福斯特市，2010年12月8日—— AB SCIEX公司，生命科學分析技術的全球領先者，今日宣布與歐洲最重要的供水和水處理集團——Landeswasserversorgung供水公司合作，來改進飲用水中污染物鑒定的方法。在Langenau公司水處理部門工作的科學家們正在使用新一代質譜技術——AB SCIEX TripleTOF 5600質譜儀，來開發新的測試方法，并可為全球的測試機構使用，獲得水質分析的更好結果。 

　　此項合作是對連續出現的飲用水污染問題的回應；合作還加強了對于增加下述污染物信息的需求：即對于在水質分析中那些非典型目標物、及用現有技術很容易被忽視的污染物。Landeswasserversorgung供水系統公司在德國南部向約三百萬人提供飲用水，為了更好地服務于公眾利益，他們用AB SCIEX公司質譜技術分析多瑙河的水，并由此檢測出更寬范圍的有害化學物質。

　　為從通用的水中未知有機物篩查方法中獲得關鍵信息，德國供水公司安裝了AB Sciex公司TripleTOF?5600系統，這是生命科學產業界最快，最靈敏的高分辨質譜系統，可進行高性能的定性和定量分析。他們將使用這種創新的系統開發新的方法，來重現性地、系統地擴展可篩查的污染物范圍。TripleTOF?5600系統是一套獨一無二的系統，同時具有最高的實用性靈敏度、高速度和高分辨。科學家們使用該系統可從樣品中獲得更高質量的信息，并比以前的各種可能的方法更容易。

　　分析和方法開發將在德國的Landeswasserversorgung供水設施機構進行。科學家們還將驗證這些方法，來節省其它水質檢測實驗室的時間和花費。本月初，Landeswasserversorgung供水公司在其現場研討會（Langenauer Wasserforum）上，介紹了其戰略的細節和進展，包括其與AB Sciex公司的合作，出席此次研討會的有上千位歐洲水測試專家，他們來了解更好的水質分析方法。

　　Landeswasserversorgung同AB Sciex公司有成功的合作歷史，比如用QTRAP技術開發了水分析中目標物定性和定量分析方法。

　　Walter H. Weber博士，Landeswasserversorgung供水公司的操作控制和研究實驗室主任表示：

　　“提高對飲用水質量和水源的控制需要強大的分析工具。我們與AB Sciex公司的合作，為我們提供了最好的機會，利用最新的技術獲得水中污染物分析中最準確、最快速的結果。使用AB SCIEX TripleTOF 5600平臺來開發新的分析方法，我們將能比從前獲取更多的信息，用于水測試中連續的過程分析，并監控污染水平的變化趨勢。”

　　Joe Anacleto，AB SCIEX公司應用市場和臨床研究業務部副總裁和總經理表示：

　　 “對于飲用水質量負責的社會責任，使科學家們認識到需要使用創新技術來改善結果。TripleTOF 5600系統是一項突破性的技術進步，在未來幾年的水中未知污染物篩查中，相比其它技術，TripleTOF 5600將有潛力做更多先進的篩查工作。作為一個可信賴的合作伙伴，Landeswasserversorgung供水公司又一次選擇與我們合作，因為他們看到了TripleTOF可以為他們做什么，來幫助他們加強其在水污染檢測方面的領導地位。”

AB SCIEX Collaborates with Major German Water Supply Company to Improve Identification of Contaminants in Drinking Water

Scientists aim to develop new test methods on the AB SCIEX TripleTOF? 5600 System for general unknown screening of organic compounds

　　Foster City, Calif. – December 8, 2010 – AB SCIEX, a global leader in life science analytical technologies, today announced a collaboration with Landeswasserversorgung Water Supply, one of the foremost water supply and treatment organizations in Europe, to improve the identification of contaminants in drinking water. Scientists at the waterworks in Langenau are using a new generation of mass spectrometry technology – the AB SCIEX TripleTOF 5600 System – to develop new test methods that can be adopted by testing facilities around the world to obtain better results for water analysis.

　　This collaboration responds to the continued issue of tainted drinking water and addresses the need to increase information about contaminants that are not typically targeted in water testing and can easily go undetected by current technologies. To better serve the public interest, Landeswasserversorgung Water Supply, which provides drinking water to approximately 3 million people in southern Germany, is analyzing water from the Danube River with AB SCIEX mass spectrometry technology through which a wider range of harmful chemicals can be detected.

　　To produce this critical information from general unknown screening of organic compounds in water, this German water supply company has installed the AB SCIEX TripleTOF? 5600 System, which is the life science industry’s fastest and most sensitive high-resolution mass spectrometer for high-performance qualitative and quantitative analysis. They will utilize this innovative system to develop new methods to expand the range of contaminants that can be screened in repeatable, systematic ways. The TripleTOF? 5600 System is the only system that combines the highest available sensitivity and speed with high resolution. Scientists can use the system to generate better quality information from samples more easily than previously possible.

　　The analysis and method development will take place at Landeswasserversorgung Water Supply’s facilities in Germany. The scientists will also validate the methods to save time and expense for other water testing laboratories. Earlier this month, Landeswasserversorgung Water Supply presented details of its strategies and progress, including its partnership with AB SCIEX, at its on-site symposium ‘Langenauer Wasserforum’, which was attended by hundreds of European water testing experts to learn about better ways to analyze water.

　　Landeswasserversorgung has a successful history of working with AB SCIEX, including past development of targeted methods with QTRAP technology to integrate quantitative and qualitative analysis for water testing.

　　Walter H. Weber, Ph.D., Head of Laboratory for Operation Control and Research,

　　Landeswasserversorgung Water Supply

　　“Improving control over the quality of drinking water and raw water resources requires powerful analytical tools. Our collaboration with AB SCIEX gives us the best opportunity to use the latest technology for the most accurate and fastest results for water contaminant analysis. By developing new analytical methods on the AB SCIEX TripleTOF 5600 platform, we will be better equipped to produce more information than previously possible that we can use in the continuous process of analyzing water and monitoring trends in contamination levels.”

　　Joe Anacleto, Vice President and General Manager of the Applied Markets and Clinical Research Business, AB SCIEX

　　“The community of scientists responsible for the quality of drinking water recognizes the need to use new innovation in technology to improve results. The TripleTOF 5600 System is a groundbreaking advancement that has the potential to do more to advance screening for unknown contaminants in water than any other technology in years. As a trusted partner, Landeswasserversorgung Water Supply chose to work with us once again because they are seeing what TripleTOF can do for them to help enhance their position as a leader in water contaminant testing.”
