Protecting Your Laboratory Data: Cybersecurity at Waters
With the ever-present threat of cyberattacks, safeguarding laboratory data has become a top priority for scientists across the globe. Many labs are accelerating digitalization efforts, but that could expose their data to greater risks. The Increase in Lab Digitalization: Effects on Cybersecurity As it turns out, the increase in digitalization, particularly the shift to the…

Waters and BioanalysisZone are Highlighting our Bioanalytical Chemists
Like the black panther, are analytical scientists going extinct? In a presidential election year, we are reminded of the many tough choices we face—Democrats or Republicans, plastic or paper, ketchup or mustard, soccer or football. And as we watched the Olympic track and field events, for instance, we saw the margin between first and last...
Is using Microflow LC in an Industrial Setting Really that Cumbersome?
Microflow or nanoflow chromatography has been used mostly in the academic and fundamental research environment in the past for its various advantages over analytical liquid chromatography, but rarely in the industrial settings. This is most likely because many of us believe it is a pain-in-the-neck technique to perform! But is this a reality or just...
Good Scent. Bad Reaction?
A New Approach for Detecting Fragrance Allergens Have you ever sat next to someone wearing heavy cologne and suddenly noticed that your eyes were watering? Hopefully, you’ve never had that experience, but if you have (I actually have), then there’s a good possibility that you have had an allergic reaction to something in the perfume....
What Bioanalysis Zone’s New Investigator Award Says About the Future of Science: An Interview with Erin Chambers, PhD
Dr. Erin Chambers is a Director in the Scientific Operations group at Waters Corporation. She recently served as a judge for the Bioanalysis Zone New Investigator Award. I sat down with Erin to gauge her impressions of that experience and the award’s importance to the bioanalysis industry. What was it like to be part of...

Preparative Method
Andrew Aubin (Andy): Manager, Purification / SFx Systems Marketing Laboratory & Blogger VOC: Voice of the Chemist VOC: “I tried to scale up my analytical HPLC method to prep and it didn’t work.” Andy: This is one of the most common things we hear from chemists wanting to do preparative chromatography. We also hear the following...
What is microflow LC?
What are the differences between micro-scale and conventional LC? Microflow (a.k.a. microscale) LC has been widely applied to proteomic research for years. Recently, as microflow LC-MS systems continue to evolve, more and more laboratories in various fields are weighing the implications of applying this small-is-beautiful technology. In this and my next two blog posts, I will discuss...
