Waters (Milford, Massachusetts, USA) has announced that it has formed a partnership with the Irish National Institute for Bioprocessing Research and Training (NIBRT) to address the world’s most challenging diseases through training and research.
Together Waters and NIBRT have established the Complete Product and Processing Characterization Facility (CPPCF) that will provide laboratory-based scientific training and retraining of ‘fit-for-purpose’ biopharmaceutical analysis. The facility will also educate scientists on current and future US and European drug regulations.
The partnership also establishes NIBRT as a Waters Centre of Innovation in the area of glycobiology research.
Mr Sean Sherlock TD, Minister for Research and Innovation, Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, said, “The combination of Pauline Rudd's [NIBRT’s principal investigator] expertise in glycan analysis and Waters technology for analysis of complex biological samples provides a unique combination of capabilities that can help underpin Ireland's continued reputation as a centre of excellence for the very highest quality standards in biopharmaceutical manufacturing. I'm truly delighted to announce this collaboration as it will surely assist both NIBRT and Waters in further cementing their reputation as providers of choice for the biopharmaceutical industry and Ireland's reputation as a world leading location for biotech manufacturing.”
NIBRT's interim director, Professor Ian Marison, commented, “This partnership will enable NIBRT, with the help of Waters, to provide advanced solutions for the pharmaceutical industry, including protein characterization, N- and O- glycan analysis.”

Characterization and Assessment of Effects of Drying Temperature on Edible Mushrooms with HS-GC–MS
September 6th 2024To gain insight into the effect of drying temperature on its composition, headspace solid-phase microextraction-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME-GC–MS) was used for the identification of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of 86 mushroom samples that were divided into five groups and dried at different temperatures.
Modern HPLC Strategies: Improving Retention and Peak Shape for Basic Analytes
August 16th 2024In high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), it is common for bases and unreacted ionized silanols on silica-based columns to cause irreproducible retention, broad peaks, and peak tailing when working with basic analytes. David S. Bell, Lead Consultant at ASKkPrime LLC offers innovative HPLC strategies that can help mitigate such issues.
Real-Time Measurement of EPA Regulated HON Compounds and Environmental Pollutants Using SIFT-MS
September 6th 2024This application note describes the determination of method detection limits (MDLs) for the newly regulated HON (Hazardous Organic NESHAP) compounds, which validate SIFT-MS as an effective solution for measuring these toxic VOCs and other environmental pollutants in ambient air, whether at the fence line or in a mobile setting.
