Arc Premier Solution Improves Data Quality for Challenging Compounds
Waters Arc Premier Solution is optimized with MaxPeak HPS Technology and developed for use with 2.5 µm MaxPeak HPS Columns to deliver improvements in separation and detection of metal-sensitive analytes.
The Quest for Maximum LC Performance: A Well-Packed Column Bed
As chromatographers seek maximum separation performance on their liquid chromatography (LC) systems, a key factor is the use of LC columns with an optimally packed column bed density. Solid-core columns manufactured with strict quality control for their packed bed density enable top efficiency, mechanical stability, and performance – no matter how tough your method conditions….
New ACQUITY Premier Solution Reduces Variability for Metal-Sensitive Analytes
Waters’ new ACQUITY Premier Solution is designed to reduce variability associated with metal-sensitive analytes and eliminate time-consuming tasks like LC system and column passivation.
Comprehending COVID-19: How Consumables Can Increase LC-MS/MS Sensitivity
During 2020, we collaborated with many of our customers to develop targeted liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) methods to detect SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes COVID-19) from biological samples. However, the combination of the biological specimen, the sample collection medium, the viral load threshold, and the need for a high throughput method gave rise to…
Oil: A Source of Light and Cause for Celebration
The use of light during holidays or festivals – in any form, including candles, lanterns, or fireworks – is significant, as we celebrate and look ahead to the future. Many friends and colleagues recently celebrated Diwali (where light represents the triumph of good over evil and light over darkness), and others begin Hanukkah, the Festival…
Make-at-Home Chromatography Flowers for Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day from all of us at Waters! Help the kids in your life create a chromatography floral bouquet for a heartfelt, homemade Mother’s Day gift that is sure to be cherished for years to come.
ACQUITY UPLC – 15 Years On and Still Going Strong
The 30th James L. Waters Annual Symposium will take place on Monday, March 18 in Philadelphia as part of Pittcon 2019. The theme of this year’s Symposium focuses on early research efforts required to develop Ultra High Pressure Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) and the impact that the adoption of this technology had on the analytical chemistry…
I Resolve to Get Better mAb Separations
We listened and learned how scientists separate mAbs and ADCs; then we designed a novel column for LC-MS bioseparations A critical step toward the prolific and successful use of monoclonal antibodies (mAb) as biotherapeutics occurred in 1988 when techniques were introduced to humanize these biomolecules, eliminating or reducing the deleterious patient side effects that previous…
Data Integrity Matters | What do you do with Orphan Data Created during Data Acquisition?
Halting a chromatographic analysis where the system is not performing correctly or when another error is evident in the separation is a valuable and scientific way to avoid creating unusable data that needs to be subsequently invalidated following a defined analytical lab error/result SOP. But what do you do with that orphan data?
UPLC Chromatography Gets an Update: Because Science Never Quits
We’ve updated our UPLC systems to enable you to find faster, simpler, and better ways to do your work. Take a closer look at our new and improved ACQUITY UPLC PLUS Series.
How Do Food Safety Laboratories Test for Acrylamide?
Q&A time: What is acrylamide? How dangerous is it? How do food testing laboratories detect it?
