PLATINUM SPONSOR
WATERS
Waters Corporation is a global leader in analytical instruments and software that has been a pioneer in sample preparation, automation, chromatography, mass spectrometry, light scattering, and field-flow fractionation innovations for more than 60 years. Most recently, the scientific teams at Waters have been helping the biotechnology industry make improvements to the techniques that are applied to the analysis of cell and gene therapy drug substances and products. These modalities tend to be large and complex. They require compliant-ready analytical techniques for characterization and chemistry, manufacturing, and control (CMC) monitoring, yet many historical approaches are manual, error-prone, and laborious. Waters has developed robust, compliant-ready solutions for gene therapy and vaccine analyses. Waters brings industry-leading expertise and the analytical tools needed to support the development and commercialization of these exciting new modalities. Waters has the chromatography and analytical tools to cleanup, separate, and characterize AAVs, mRNA, Lipid Nanoparticles and more.
