Charge Detection Mass Spectrometry (CDMS): Unprecedented Direct Measurement for the Characterization of Mega-Mass Biomolecules
Whether you are analyzing adeno-associated viruses (AAVs) or virus-like particles, nucleic acids such as RNAs or lipid nanoparticles (LNPs), proteins, or protein complexes, simple and fit-for-purpose tools with speed, accuracy, and precision are essential for driving biotherapeutic innovations forward. In recent years, scientists have increasingly turned to charge detection mass spectrometry (CDMS).

Why does biomedical research matter?
Summer break is coming to a close and the thought of fall quickly approaching hangs heavy in the air. The mornings are cool and pleasant, perfect for sleeping. And, here I am, sipping coffee at 5:30AM. Why is it that on mornings like this, when most of the world is asleep, so many biomedical researchers are...
More than a slogan, bioharmonization is a unifying principle that aims to enhance productivity
In January of 2018, Waters kicked off its global Bioharmonization campaign with a blog post and video release, laying out a vision for how the Biopharmaceutical industry can achieve accelerated development and improved quality while enhancing productivity and lowering production costs. Central to this vision are “fit-for-purpose” analytical tools working together within a single compliance-ready...
The Importance of Newborn Screening: A Mother’s Perspective
After completing my undergraduate degree, I began work at the New England Newborn Screening Program (NENBS) in Jamaica Plain, Massachusetts. It wasn’t long before I realized the magnitude of the job I held in serving the public and my role in the life-saving tests that the program performed. The NENBS program consists of five testing...
What do great vacations and peptide bioanalysis have in common?
For starters no one wants a disastrous vacation, the same goes for a bioanalysis assay! What makes for a great vacation? A booking agent who understands you, on time transit, a room with a view a stones throw from the beach, friendly staff and great cuisine? Knowing that you are in safe hands and leaving...
Learning from User Experience
What does “intelligence” mean in the context of biopharma analysis? Given the complex setting, much of the answer comes down to the task a user needs to complete, along with the question of who exactly that user is. In developing our BioAccord System, we wanted to expand the possibilities of high-resolution LC-MS analysis from characterization...
APHL 2019: Strong foundations lead to new heights
It was to be my third outing to the Association of Public Health Laboratories (APHL) Newborn Screening and Genetic Testing Symposium (NBSGTS), this being the 27th meeting of its kind, bringing some 500 members of the screening and genetics community to the jewel of Lake Michigan, The Windy City, The City With Big Shoulders, Chi-Town:...
