USA: Analytical Monitoring Tests Waters Develops Intelligent Fit-for-Purpose System

Waters Corporation has introduced the Bio Accord System. This purposefully designed liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) solution is to expand access to high-resolution time-of-flight mass spectrometry capabilities to more scientists.

Milford/USA — With this new system, the company promises to move routine monitoring out of centralized MS labs and into the hands of more scientists by enabling more effective analysis of biotherapeutic protein attributes across development and within quality control organizations.

As the monitoring requirements for biotherapeutics are growing exponentially, the inherent complexity of these therapies, combined with rising regulatory standards, are driving more intensive and widespread testing requirements, explains Chris O'Connell, Chairman and CEO, Waters Corporation. Waters designed the new system as a fit-for-purpose LC-MS biopharmaceutical solution to deliver rich mass spectrometry data for improved productivity and effective decision-making.
