For many laboratories, the conversation around cloud and SaaS software has shifted from if to when. The benefits are well understood—reduced infrastructure, greater flexibility, and continuous updates—but the decision itself is rarely simple. Moving to the cloud is not just a technical change. It reshapes how your lab operates, scales, and collaborates. The key is…
For more than three decades, Waters Empower Chromatography Data System (CDS) has been the trusted foundation for chromatography data management. Empower Software enables laboratories to address regulatory requirements, deliver consistent results, and scale operations. But the pace of change in today’s scientific world is unprecedented- unlike anything labs have experienced before. Global supply chains, the…
Laboratory information management systems (LIMS) are often hailed as the cornerstone of modern lab operations, central to digital transformation and essential for regulatory compliance. They’re positioned as the “digital backbone” of the lab, helping manage samples, data, and routine workflows. And in many ways, that reputation is well-earned. But here’s the reality: A LIMS alone…

Advanced materials companies are using direct mass spectrometry analysis to provide deeper insights into research, development and manufacturing processes.
The development of biotherapeutics continues to accelerate with their potential to revolutionize disease treatment in areas not adequately addressed by small molecule therapeutics. However, the complexity of these macromolecules and the range of potential modification variants (attributes) creates an interesting analytical challenge for scientists tasked with their characterization and then with monitoring those attributes important…
On Wednesday evening after dinner and my usual digestif, I was watching the webcast “Making Ion Mobility Mass Spectrometry Routine” when my son walked by. “Wow dad, that’s kind of cool! What the heck is it?” he asked. “It’s ion mobility!! It’s an orthogonal and complementary resource for chromatography and mass spectrometry…” The digestif was…
