UNT joins Waters Centres of Excellence Innovation Programme
Waters (Massachusetts, USA) has announced the introduction of the University of Northern Texas (UNT) (Texas, USA) metabolomics and metabolic signalling pathway research laboratory to its Waters Centres of Excellence Innovation Programme.
Waters (Massachusetts, USA) has announced the introduction of the University of Northern Texas (UNT) (Texas, USA) metabolomics and metabolic signalling pathway research laboratory to its Waters Centres of Excellence Innovation Programme. The program recognizes and supports leading analytical scientists, facilitating breakthroughs in health and life science research, food safety, environmental protection, sports medicine and many other areas.
Directed by Professor Vladimir Shulaev, the laboratory part of UNT’s Plant Signalling Cluster, focuses primarily on developing understanding of plant cellular communication pathways with a view to identify solutions to problems related to agriculture, energy, nutrition and medicine.
Representing UNT, Provost Warren Burggran addressed an audience at the announcement and said, “I’m really proud to be representing UNT here to celebrate the opening of this exciting Centre of Innovation. This is a university-corporate partnership at its very best. To use a biology metaphor, we look forward to a long, close symbiotic relationship between UNT and Waters; it’s a natural fit, a really natural fit, and we’ll each benefit tremendously.”

HPLC 2025 Preview: The Present and Future of Automation in Analytical Laboratories
May 22nd 2025Analytical laboratories are undergoing a fundamental transformation. In the face of increasing sample volumes, growing regulatory requirements, and the rising demand for faster, more precise, and cost-efficient analysis, optimizing laboratory processes is becoming a central focus. Automation technologies offer promising solutions in this regard. Recently, they have evolved from isolated solutions to comprehensive systems that permeate nearly all areas of laboratory practice. This development not only opens up new opportunities in terms of efficiency, data quality, and scalability but also brings technical, organizational, and personnel challenges. To successfully address these, strategic approaches are needed that consider both the technological and human dimensions of the transformation.
Quantifying Isavuconazole in Dried Blood Spots Using HPLC
May 21st 2025Isavuconazole, an antimycotic agent used to treat fungal infections, can typically be found during dried blood spot sampling. However, there are obstacles that keep it from being an ideal approach for properly determining the drug’s presence.
