You are the hunter in a landscape of scientific gatherers, the stealthy SEAL of DMPK, the nimble ninja of ADME. You are a Metabolite ID scientist. Traditionally, Met ID labs have been a fixture of any pharmaceutical company worth its salt. Now, imagine that your proud band of comrades has been phased out, split…
According to published reports by Hiscox UK in 2008, just listening to the sound of a sports car increased salivary testosterone levels in male and female participants. Another study, by Gad Saad et al, measured a testosterone increase in men who were given the opportunity to drive a $150,000 Porsche 911 Carrera Cabriolet for an…
Tea is very important to them! If Waters Wilmslow ran out of tea it is likely the MS Research Team would struggle to function. The ancient Chinese Ruler, Emperor Jing Di, took tea to the grave with him for a cuppa in the afterlife. Many treasures were found in his tomb including; food, weapons, ceramic animals,…
What can you get all the top Pharma and CRO’s scientists to agree on? That the biopharma industry is growing and quantifying biotherapeutics for bioanalysis is difficult – but you have options.
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…
You might not like the answer… So the other day, I was with a customer when they asked me, “Viet, there are so many detectors out there! How do I know which one I need?” To which I answered with the one comment that all of you will love to hate, “It depends!” Detectors for…
Endangered analytical chemists face myriad obstacles today – lower than average job forecasts 1, costly and timely training, demand for more versatile knowledge, tighter regulations, and massive data management requirements. Perhaps most significantly, mass spectrometry market forecasts predict a lack of skilled users as a key market constraint2. Senior analytical chemists are presented with a…
Multiple attribute monitoring has become a hot topic of discussion within biopharmaceutical organizations as the methodology allows detection and measurement of more critical quality attributes than conventional methods. Waters recently sponsored an outstanding webinar on this topic, hosted by Genetic Engineering News and presented by our own Biopharmaceutical Senior Manager, Sean M. McCarthy, Ph.D. Watch…
Melamine and cyanuric acid (CA) are low mass, nitrogen-rich compounds that have been linked to protein adulteration in various foodstuffs in the past.1 While melamine and cyanuric acid are not individually toxic, in combination they can sometimes form an adduct compound through hydrogen bonding, melamine cyanurate, that produce sharp crystals which can cause internal organ failure…
For more than five decades, attempts have been made to improve liquid chromatography separations performance by reducing the particle size of the stationary phase. However, the benefits of doing so can only be realized if the LC instrument provides an appropriate amount of extra-column dispersion (band spreading) in relation to the volume of the column…
Sitting in the Waters’ John Dalton Suite in Wilmslow, England two weeks ago felt somewhat duplicitous. Here we were, in the part of the world considered the birthplace of Mass Spectrometry (MS), about to embark on a two-day workshop with 20 key collaborators and thought leaders to discuss Ion Mobility Spectroscopy (IMS), its use in contemporary structural…
Characterization of packaging in various industries has become more important due to ever-increasing global regulations. The first regulations for plastics used in food packaging and contact materials were established in 1982 in Europe1, which have been expanded in recent years.2 In the pharmaceutical field the need for extractables testing was recognized in the 1990s.3 Manufacturers…
