Overview
Waters is a leader in life sciences tools, starting with liquid chromatography technologies in the 1960s! Since then, Waters has pioneered analytical techniques across markets including Clinical Diagnostics, Food & Environmental, Pharmaceuticals, and Materials. In Clinical Diagnostics, Waters has leading LC-MS technologies, which are already used for many applications including therapeutic drug monitoring, newborn screening, and endocrinology.
With the growth in precision medicine, it is an exciting time for LC-MS in clinical diagnostics! For 10+ years, PCR-NGS techniques have been widely used for clinical diagnostics. Clinicians now want a real-time understanding of disease states, requiring a more complete picture of proteins, metabolites and lipids. LC-MS based assays are crucial to provide this level of insight with their analytical specificity, sensitivity, and capacity to analyze simultaneously multiple analytes.
