Waters Corporation (Massachusetts, USA) has announced the opening of a Solution Centre based within the Singapore Science Park II (Singapore). The company aims to further strengthen their support of the developing biomedical sector in the region. This announcement follows the establishment of an R&D facility for engineering in Singapore.
“Singapore is a key strategic location for us in Asia and in particular, South East Asia, at two levels – business and talents,” said Mathieu Laouenan, general manager, South East Asia & Pacific Operations, Waters Corporation. “Not only does it bring us closer to our customers in this region, Singapore as a research hub is also where international and local research talents and minds gather.”
According to Mike Harrington, vice president Europe and Asia Pacific division of the Waters Corporation, the challenges faced by scientists in the developing markets of South East Asia, Asia, Singapore and Australia are unique. The centre will provide advanced analytical application development and demonstration capabilities, as well as training facilities to address these challenges.
Mark Ritchie, senior manager of the centre, said, “Through the development of applications to address the challenges faced by scientists in this part of the world, Waters hopes to leverage its momentum in food safety analysis and life sciences innovation and expand its capability in traditional medicine research and the development of new tools for the chemical industry.”

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.
