Waters has won the 2012 Pittcon Editors’ Gold Award for its Acquity UPC2 system. The award recognizes the best new product at the conference.
The Acquity UPC2 system is said to expand the boundaries of reversed-phase liquid and gas chromatography and offers a replacement option for normal-phase chromatography.
Art Caputo, president of the Waters division, commented, “On behalf of all Waters employees worldwide, we thank the Pittcon Editors for recognizing the Acquity UPC2 system and its promise as a new category of separation science. In 2004, the Pittcon Editors selected the Acquity ultra performance LC (UPLC) to receive the gold award for best in show. Since then, thousands of Acquity UPLC systems have been adopted by leading laboratories around the world changing the landscape and impact of chromatography. We believe that Acquity ultra performance convergence chromatography holds that same potential by bridging the gap between LC and GC technologies.”

GC–TOF-MS Finds 250 Volatile Compounds in E-Cigarette Liquids
November 1st 2024A study has used gas chromatography coupled to a time-of-flight mass spectrometer to build an electron ionization mass spectra database of more than 250 chemicals classified as either volatile or semi-volatile compounds. An additional, confirmatory layer of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry analysis was subsequently performed.
AI and GenAI Applications to Help Optimize Purification and Yield of Antibodies From Plasma
October 31st 2024Deriving antibodies from plasma products involves several steps, typically starting from the collection of plasma and ending with the purification of the desired antibodies. These are: plasma collection; plasma pooling; fractionation; antibody purification; concentration and formulation; quality control; and packaging and storage. This process results in a purified antibody product that can be used for therapeutic purposes, diagnostic tests, or research. Each step is critical to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of the final product. Applications of AI/GenAI in many of these steps can significantly help in the optimization of purification and yield of the desired antibodies. Some specific use-cases are: selecting and optimizing plasma units for optimized plasma pooling; GenAI solution for enterprise search on internal knowledge portal; analysing and optimizing production batch profitability, inventory, yields; monitoring production batch key performance indicators for outlier identification; monitoring production equipment to predict maintenance events; and reducing quality control laboratory testing turnaround time.
Multivariate Design of Experiments for Gas Chromatographic Analysis
November 1st 2024Recent advances in green chemistry have made multivariate experimental design popular in sample preparation development. This approach helps reduce the number of measurements and data for evaluation and can be useful for method development in gas chromatography.
