Many years ago, I was hired by a biopharma company to develop analytical methods for therapeutic oligonucleotides. When a new colleague warned me about sample loss on LC columns I looked at him with skepticism. “Yes,” he insisted, “part of your DNA sample may be irreversibly bound to the column and you will never see…
Enhancing performance, mitigating risk, and improving efficiency Today, Waters introduced the Arc HPLC, a modern liquid chromatography system that replicates established test methods while delivering improved performance. HPLC has been a cornerstone of routine analytical testing for decades. It has proven to be particularly important for quality control and manufacturing support laboratories in the pharmaceutical…
From fundamental research to routine analysis, Waters’ latest innovations in mass spectrometry enable our customers to gain – and apply – insights across the scientific spectrum. Beginning with fundamental research where the focus is on unraveling molecular complexity, new enhancements to the SELECT SERIES™ Cyclic IMS now support a combination of fragmentation and imaging strategies…
Laboratory automation is quickly becoming a critical component of the modern lab, streamlining pharmaceutical, life science and analytical LC-MS workflows. Automation of routine and complex sample preparation helps minimize variability, improve traceability and simplify method transfer, ultimately bringing improved efficiency to the lab and allowing scientists to spend more time on value-added tasks. Despite this,…
Digging deep into the human biome, Professor Yoshiya Oda of the Graduate School of Medicine at the University of Tokyo looks to ion mobility technology to uncover deposits of insight It’s an established fact that the more people age, the more they tend to engage with health care providers than they did when they were…
After a comprehensive evaluation process, The University of Neuchâtel in Switzerland recently made the decision to add the newly released SYNAPT XS to their mass spectrometry instrument portfolio. Dr. Gaétan Glauser, a senior scientist at the Neuchâtel Platform of Analytical Chemistry (NPAC) facility, has core specialisms in plant analytical chemistry and metabolomics. Dr. Glauser and…
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…
As a chromatography scientist at Waters, I often get the opportunity to travel to different laboratories around the world and to meet with various types of researchers. This allows me to stay up to date on the newest scientific trends and topics, particularly in the fast growing world of biopharmaceutical analysis. In June of this…
How do data integration and reintegration affect data integrity?
Learn how the ACQUITY QDa Mass Detector brings the power of mass detection for purification to Medicilon, helping this CRO meet the growing demand for outsourced services in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
Scientists from Waters and Pfizer collaborated to take on the challenge of engineering a novel reversed-phase LC column for high-throughput separations with enhanced resolution, selectivity, and recovery of target mAbs and ADCs.
What procedures can an analyst use to ensure that a chromatography system is ready to begin analyzing samples, without the fear that the system suitability tests would immediately fail?
