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.
