Sciex and Waters Announce Collaboration
Sciex has announced an agreement with Waters Corporation.
Sciex (Framingham, Massachusetts, USA) has announced an agreement with Waters Corporation (Milford, Massachusetts, USA) to offer customers fully configured and interoperable Waters ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) instruments as part of their purchase and deployment of Sciex mass spectrometry (MS) systems. The companies hope this collaboration will make it easier for customers to choose the most suitable tools to address their analytical needs for both large and small molecules.
“We strive to provide the best products and services, and live by the mantra, ‘when customers talk, we listen,’” said Dom Gostick, Vice President and GM LC–MS and CTO, at Sciex. “Through this collaboration, we are broadening the variety of LC instruments available to our growing customer base.”
Instrument control drivers have been developed that have been fully tested to ensure compatibility and compliance, with customers also benefitting from the commitment of both vendors to deliver coordinated service. Sciex will support the full customer relationship, while Waters will provide direct UPLC service and support.
“This agreement provides for a smooth, integrated experience for customers with the coordinated support of Waters’ expertise and service,” said Jon Pratt, Senior Vice President, Waters Division.

A Life Measured in Peaks: Honoring Alan George Marshall (1944–2025)
June 18th 2025A pioneer of FT-ICR Mass Spectrometry, Alan G. Marshall (1944–2025), is best known for co-inventing Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS), a transformative technique that enabled ultrahigh-resolution analysis of complex mixtures. Over a career spanning more than five decades at institutions like the University of British Columbia, The Ohio State University, and Florida State University, he published over 650 peer-reviewed papers and mentored more than 150 scientists. Marshall’s work profoundly impacted fields ranging from astrobiology to petroleomics and earned him numerous prestigious awards and fellowships. Revered for his intellect, mentorship, and dedication to science, he leaves behind a legacy that continues to shape modern mass spectrometry.
