Waters has launched a programme to support scientific innovation in the fields of health and life science research, sports science, food safety, clinical research and environmental protection.
"With the Centers of Innovation Program, we are expanding our emphasis on collaborative relationships with some of the world's foremost scientific experts which, quite frankly, has been a focus of ours for many years," said Tim Riley, vice president and director of the programme. "These scientists are laying significant groundwork for future discoveries and by working closely with them and offering them access to advanced instrument technology, we want to help them push the frontiers of science forward."
The programme will involve partnerships with several scientists including Professor Jeremy Nicholson, Professor and Chair in Biological Chemistry, Department of Surgery and Cancer, Imperial College, London, UK, who works in the field of metabolomic profiling and molecular phenotyping; and Professor James Scrivens, Department of Biological Sciences, University of Warwick, Coventry, UK who applies advanced mass spectrometry to the field of protein therapeutics.
The programme aims to offer various forms of research support and assistance to these scientists in raising awareness of their ongoing research.

Inside the Laboratory: The Gionfriddo Group at the University at Buffalo
March 28th 2024In this edition of “Inside the Laboratory,” Emanuela Gionfriddo, PhD, an associate professor of chemistry at the University at Buffalo, discusses her group’s current research endeavors, including using solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coupled to liquid chromatography (LC) and gas chromatography (GC) to further understand the chemical relationship between environmental exposure and disease and elucidate micropollutants fate in the environment and biological systems.
Transferring Methods to Compact and Portable HPLC
February 14th 2024The current trend in laboratory equipment design is the miniaturization of laboratory instruments. Smaller-scale HPLC instruments offer benefits that cannot be matched by analytical-scale equipment, especially in the areas of portability, reduced fluid volumes, and reduced operating costs. Yet, the miniaturization of laboratory equipment has brought with it a unique set of challenges, including transferring methods to compact LC. Capillary LC expands the use of LC to applications not currently done using conventional LC in a wide array of application areas, including pharmaceutical, food and beverage, petrochemical, environmental, and oil and gas. Greg Ward, Axcend’s CEO wrote, “Customers want an HPLC system with a small footprint, low flow rates and green chemistry.” Join his podcast where he shares method transfer in these application areas.
