What’s Really Happening Inside the Capsid of Norovirus VLPs?

Reading Time: 2 minutes

Norovirus virus-like particles (VLPs) are structurally heterogeneous, built from a single capsid protein that self-assembles into multiple geometries, making full characterization by conventional mass spectrometry (MS) extremely difficult. A recent bioRxiv paper by Dr. Charlotte Uetrecht and colleagues at the Centre for Structural Systems Biology (CSSB) in Hamburg, Germany, in collaboration with Waters scientists, demonstrates...

Is it Possible to Have High Analytical Sensitivity and Robustness in Clinical Mass Spectrometry?

Reading Time: 4 minutes

For decades, mass spectrometry (MS) developers and users have lived with a familiar trade‑off. Instruments designed for the highest analytical sensitivity often come with implicit costs: fragility, frequent maintenance, and performance that drifts under the pressures of routine use. Conversely, the most robust systems have sometimes been viewed as blunt tools—reliable workhorses, but lacking the...

AI Maturity in GMP: Accelerating Your Digital Journey at Warp Speed, Safely

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Most AI projects fail. The organizations that succeed are the ones that build governance before they build velocity. Written by Tracy Hibbs and Tony Sacchetti, Waters Corporation Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised to take routine work and shift it to fully automated workflows. Currently, 80% of AI projects fail.1 As with most paradigm-shifting technology, it...

Reducing Risk, Rework, and Cost Through Chromatographic Stability

Reading Time: 3 minutes

As clinical LC‑MS adoption continues to grow across toxicology, endocrinology, therapeutic drug monitoring, and metabolic testing, laboratories face an increasingly difficult challenge: delivering results that are not only sensitive, but routine, reproducible, and economically sustainable. While investment decisions often focus on mass spectrometry (MS) detection, experience across clinical laboratories shows that chromatography is frequently the...
