American distribution agreement
Waters and Hitachi High Technologies America have entered into a distribution agreement allowing HTA to sell Waters? sample preparation and liquid chromatography (LC) columns to users in North America.
Waters and Hitachi High Technologies America have entered into a distribution agreement allowing HTA to sell Waters’ sample preparation and liquid chromatography (LC) columns to users in North America.“This agreement with HTA will expand the access of Waters industry-leading laboratory chemistry and consumable technologies to a broader user‑base that may not have had access previously,” said Mark Groudas, vice president Americas operation for the Waters division. “Waters invests significant resources to deliver advanced solutions that help laboratory scientists successfully address their most difficult and routine separation challenges.”“At HTA, we welcome the opportunity to offer our users additional applications and to extend the capabilities of our chromatography products through Waters’ chemistries,” said Kenji Osaki, VP/GM for the life sciences division of HTA.
According to the company, the sample preparation tools significantly enhance analyte signals and reduce unwanted noise by increasing sensitivity, reproducibility or throughput of LC–MS systems. Furthermore, the columns are reported to reduce time and cost per sample, while improving the quality of laboratory results.

Exploring Severity of Traumatic Brain Injury with DI/LC-MS/MS
January 27th 2025Researchers employed direct infusion/liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in their exploration of the potential of metabolomics to examine probable primary and secondary brain injury in severe traumatic brain injury.
The Next Frontier for Mass Spectrometry: Maximizing Ion Utilization
January 20th 2025In this podcast, Daniel DeBord, CTO of MOBILion Systems, describes a new high resolution mass spectrometry approach that promises to increase speed and sensitivity in omics applications. MOBILion recently introduced the PAMAF mode of operation, which stands for parallel accumulation with mobility aligned fragmentation. It substantially increases the fraction of ions used for mass spectrometry analysis by replacing the functionality of the quadrupole with high resolution ion mobility. Listen to learn more about this exciting new development.
Measuring Procyanidin Concentration in Wines Using UHPLC
January 24th 2025Researchers from the University of Bordeaux (Villenave d'Ornon, France) report the development and validation of a rapid and quantitative analytical method measuring crown procyanidin concentration in red and white wines using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) coupled with a ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (Q-TOF) mass spectrometer.
The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
