HUPO Honours Waters
The Waters’ scientists responsible for the development of the QTOF mass spectrometer have been honoured at the annual Human Proteome Organization.
The Waters’ scientists responsible for the development of the QTOF mass spectrometer have been honoured at the annual Human Proteome Organization (HUPO).
Consultant for Technical Research Bob Bateman and Mass Spec Technical Director and Scientific Fellow John Hoyes received the “HUPO Industrial Advisory Board Science and Technology Award” for their contributions to advancing technology for proteomics research.
“The availability of a QTOF tandem MS instrument had tremendous influence on the development of proteomics in its early days,” said the HUPO Executive Committee.
Commercially introduced in 1996, the Waters’s QTOF mass spectrometer was used in many early proteomic studies.

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.
