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

2 Empower 3 Software offers single-point 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 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 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 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 or techniques. 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 and 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 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. Empower 3 s QuickStart user interface is a single-window dashboard that streamlines all of the steps in your workflow. Empower 3 includes capabilities, such as tailored reports, integrated tailored calculations, advanced data management and an award-winning online help system that minimizes training time and expense. With these capabilities, results can be generated within Empower, eliminating the need for spreadsheets and external software packages. With Electronic Record Regulatory (i.e., 21 CFR Part 11 and Annex 11) capabilities and compliant electronic signatures, Empower 3 takes data integrity, advanced security, and audit trails to new levels. When users log in, they are presented with the appropriate user interface for their assigned tasks: QuickStart, Pro or Walk-Up. With appropriate permissions, they can also choose the desired interface for their current task. 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 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 Multi-task without multiple software packages All you need is one software package to accomplish multiple tasks in your lab. Empower 3 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 controls multivendor 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 the SQ Detector 2 and the ACQUITY QDa Detector. This provides greater specificity of analysis and lets you easily use mass detection in a routine lab environment. You no longer have to outsource your MS analysis do it right in your lab along with other analyses. Empower also offers peak tracking based on MS data, making separations method development simpler and quicker. 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. MAXIMIZE EMPOWER DATA IN YOUR ORGANIZATION WITH THE POWER OF TWO 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 offers close integration with Waters NuGenesis Lab Management System (LMS) to deliver enhanced data management capabilities for sharing, storing, archiving and retrieving chromatographic results across your enterprise. You can then readily grow beyond managing the elifecycle of your Empower CDS data to accelerate decisions in your entire analytical laboratory process.
