1 MORE CAPABILITIES FOR YOUR LAB, MORE VALUE FOR YOUR ENTERPRISE

2 Empower 3 Software offers single-window control of a wide range of analytical instruments: Waters HPLC, ACQUITY UPLC, ACQUITY UPC, 2 and integrated mass spectrometry systems Gas Chromatography (GC), Capillary Electrophoresis (CE), and Ion Chromatography (IC) Multi-vendor chromatographic instruments, including Agilent Technologies, Beckman Coulter, CTC Analytics, DANI Instruments, Hitachi High-Technologies, PerkinElmer, Shimadzu, Thermo Scientific/Dionex, and others

3 MAXIMIZE PRODUCTIVITY Waters Empower 3 Software is chromatography data software that helps your entire laboratory operate better. Our versatile software will increase your productivity, as well as: n Minimize training and transition costs with intuitive and configurable user interfaces n Eliminate the need for manual recordkeeping n Support compliance and security requirements n Improve your information management, storage, and data mining capabilities n Refine your processes with method development and validation management tools Empower 3 Software can grow to meet your laboratory s changing needs it is easily scalable from a single workstation to an enterprise-wide network.

4 MULTITASK ALL AT ONCE CHROMATOGRAPHY DATA SOFTWARE EASIER TO USE THAN EVER Empower 3 Software s powerful features make it easy to focus on running samples and producing meaningful results without experiencing downtime for training, re-engineering software related workflows, or adding new software to support instruments, such as mass spectrometry (MS) detectors or techniques (i.e., gel permeation and size exclusion chromatography). The application s interface is designed to maximize your productivity, improving how you collect, process, review, and print chromatography data. Results are centrally stored in a relational database, which simplifies data mining and traceability. USABILITY An interface for everyone in the lab It used to be that chromatography data software (CDS) either couldn t meet all of your lab s needs, or was so extensive it was difficult to learn and use. What s more, many CDS solutions require add-on applications to gain functionality, such as security and data management. Empower 3 Software provides all the software functionality your laboratory staff needs to efficiently work with chromatography data. It is equipped with unique interface options that are designed for every user in your lab regardless of their task or skill level. The result is a fully-customized and user-friendly experience that will increase your lab s productivity. When users log in, they are presented with the appropriate user interface for their assigned tasks: QuickStart, Pro, Empower Mobile, or Walk-Up. With appropriate permissions, they can also choose the desired interface for their current task. Empower 3 Software s QuickStart user interface is a single-window dashboard that streamlines all of the steps in your workflow. Empower 3 includes capabilities, such as customizable reports, integrated custom fields and calculations, advanced data management, and an award-winning online help system that minimizes training time and expense. With 21 CFR Part 11 compliance capabilities and electronic signatures, Empower 3 takes data integrity, advanced security, and audit trails to new levels. QuickStart is a single-window interface that highlights where the user is within the application at all times, presenting the appropriate functionality when the user needs it. QuickStart allows users to perform the task they need without any confusion. With QuickStart in Empower 3, you can easily develop new methods, including PDA and MS data extraction. You can also customize reports, manage data with flexibility and automatically receive results and notifications via . The Pro user interface is perfect for system administrators or anyone who needs total control and access to all software functions. Walk-Up allows a user to easily submit samples for routine analysis and generate results without having to be a chromatography expert. The Empower Mobile interface provides wireless access to users, quality reviewers, and IT managers from a tablet or smartphone to allow them to monitor system status, review and signoff reports, and perform routine system administration tasks.

5 VERSATILITY Multitask without multiple software packages All you need is one software package to accomplish multiple tasks in your lab. Empower 3 Software lets you acquire and control data with different instrumentation including HPLC, UPLC, UPC 2, IC, GC, and CE. Run different detection techniques, such as MS and photodiode array (PDA), and different applications, including dissolution, method development, method validation, integrated chemical structures, and polymer analysis/size exclusion. Empower 3 offers more robust peak integration capabilities with its ApexTrack Technology. ApexTrack provides automated and reliable peak integration, with effective detection of poorly-resolved or low-level peaks on noisy or sloping baselines, allowing you to process data quickly and minimize the need for manual integration. In addition to Waters HPLC and UPLC systems, Empower 3 Software controls multi-vendor HPLC, IC, GC, and CE systems, allowing you to maximize your CDS investment. A simplified IT landscape will allow you to introduce new technologies to your lab while avoiding the burden of additional implementation investments in computer hardware and software validation. Also, a consistent CDS interface accelerates user training and productivity. Empower 3 control also extends to Waters LC/MS systems, including our single and triple quadrupole mass detectors. This capability provides greater specificity of analysis, lets you easily use mass detection in a routine lab environment, and allows you to use compatible MS instrumentation throughout your organization. You no longer have to outsource your MS analysis do it right in your lab, along with your other analyses. As an example of the breadth of technology that Empower 3 offers, the software can control MS instruments and acquire and process MS data. Spectral information from multiple detection modes can be viewed simultaneously. This enables scientists to easily perform complex analyses with minimal training, increasing lab productivity. INTEGRATION WITH INFORMATICS SOLUTIONS Empower 3 is part of the Waters Laboratory Informatics suite, which offers complete solutions that can improve your laboratory s ability to capture data, secure information, and share knowledge. Empower 3 Software offers tight, automated integration with Waters NuGenesis 8 platform which encompasses the NuGenesis SDMS and NuGenesis ELN products that can enhance your ability to make better decisions in any analytical laboratory process.
