Waters Empower 3 is chromatography data software that
helps your entire laboratory operate better. Our versatile
software will increase your productivity, as well as:
■ Minimize training and transition costs with intuitive and configurable user interfaces
■ Eliminate the need for manual recordkeeping
■ Support compliance and security requirements
■ Improve your information management, storage, and data mining capabilities
■ 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.
[ EMPOWER 3 SOFTWARE ]
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.

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.
USABILIT Y
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.
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 email.
■■ 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.
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 elife-
cycle of your Empower CDS
data to accelerate decisions
in your entire analytical
laboratory process.

USABILIT Y
An interface for everyone in the lab
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 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 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.

DATA T RAC EABILIT Y
Protecting intellectual property and troubleshooting
Laboratories in the chemical, food and beverage, and environmental industries require trustworthy and reliable electronic records to aid
troubleshooting in manufacturing and to protect intellectual property in research. Empower provides configurable data integrity safeguards
to ensure the validity of your data such as time/date stamps, a relational database to help you find information, automated audit trails, and
electronic signatures for approving experiments. With Empower 3, the data integrity safeguards can be switched on or off so that you can
tailor Empower to your organization’s requirements.
COMPLIANC E
Ensure data integrity
Managing regulatory compliance and
security are some of your lab’s biggest
challenges. Empower 3 provides a
simple yet comprehensive interface
for system management.
The software guides the system administrator
to ensure that the system is configured
to comply with regulatory requirements
across all industries. Multi-level security
is provided for every job – from assigning
access privileges, password expiry, and
automated log-outs due to inactivity, to
establishing audit trails and regulating
new projects. Empower 3 ensures the
utmost integrity and traceability for your
raw data, metadata, and test results.
Empower 3 also helps you manage your
compliance on a day-to-day basis with
capabilities such as secure time-stamped
audit trails. Records can be easily
reviewed so you can apply the
appropriate electronic signatures.
