Company Also Extends Metabolomics Capabilities
with Addition to Progenesis Software
Waters Corporation (NYSE:WAT) today at the annual Pittcon
Conference and Expo announced the launch of Empower® Cloud, a cloud
deployable, compliance ready enterprise Chromatography Data
Software (CDS). Additionally, TA Instruments introduced the new
Discovery Simultaneous Differential Scanning
Calorimeter/Thermogravimetric Analyzer, the SDT 650. TA also
released three new additions to its 800 Series dilatometers: the
DIL 820, DIL 830 and ODP 860.
“Waters has a rich history of unveiling state-of-the-art
innovations at Pittcon and this year is no exception,” said Dr.
Mike Harrington, Senior Vice President, Global Markets for Waters
Corporation. “Today’s announcements will not only meet our
customer’s needs, but also contribute to their success.”
Introduction of Empower Cloud
Over the last twenty-five years, Waters’ Empower Software has
provided the gold standard for CDS, defining clear standards for
laboratories across the globe. Empower Software has a global reach,
with over 425,000 users worldwide on over 4,000 networks. Now, with
the introduction of Empower Cloud, Waters’ customers can leverage
the power of the internet to procure technology and further drive
operational efficiency.
“Empower Cloud combines Waters’ versatile, easy to use software
with Amazon Web Services (AWS), the world’s most comprehensive and
broadly adopted cloud,” said Steve Smith, Vice President of
Informatics at Waters. “The cloud has changed the way the world
interacts with data, allowing companies to focus on science and not
the infrastructure.”
Empower Cloud utilizes a single CDS platform across business
partner relationships with Contract Research Organizations (CROs),
Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs) and others. This
improves consistency, quality and compliance, while also realizing
the benefit of collaborations and protecting their intellectual
property.
New Discovery SDT System from TA Instruments
The Discovery SDT 650 delivers unprecedented sensitivity,
baseline stability, temperature and atmospheric control. The new
SDT 650 is the first simultaneous DSC/TGA to incorporate TA’s most
advanced techniques like Modulated DSC®, Modulated TGA™, and
Hi-Res™ TGA - opening up new areas of research. The SDT 650 is the
only system capable of simultaneous TGA/TGA measurement. TA’s
proprietary dual sample mode delivers independent TGA measurements
on two samples. This new feature effectively doubles laboratory
productivity.
A simultaneous DSC/TGA measures the change in energy as a
function of time and temperature, while concurrently and precisely
measuring sample weight changes. With a temperature range of
ambient to 1500°C, a wide variety of materials can be characterized
on the SDT 650 - excelling in both research and production control
environments.
Terry Kelly, President of TA Instruments, commented on the
introduction, “Never before have we packed so many features into a
single instrument. These include the most precise and accurate heat
flow and weight measurements, advanced techniques and powerful
automation. TA introduced the new Discovery Series® platform in
2016 and hundreds of customers have already confirmed that it has
never been easier to get great data. The new Discovery SDT 650 will
easily be the most productive addition to any thermal analysis
laboratory.”
Three New Dilatometer Lines
TA Instruments introduced three new additions to its 800 Series
dilatometers: the DIL 820, DIL 830 and ODP 860. Each of these
instruments feature TA’s exclusive True Differential technology
resulting in measurement accuracies that are 10 times better than
the closest competitive system, reaffirming TA’s position as the
technology and global leader in thermal analysis.
The three new lines of dilatometers are based on patented
optical sensors that can analyze samples with a resolution of up to
1nm, and feature new high speed, no temperature-gradient furnaces
that guarantee optimum temperature control and reduce downtime
between tests.
The TA Dilatometers are high precision systems designed to
measure dimensional changes of a specimen brought about by dynamic
thermal events. They are used in a wide range of applications,
including material science, ceramics, and metals. They excel in
both research environments and production control processes.
METLIN™ MS/MS Library for Progenesis®
QI
The METLIN® MS/MS Library for Progenesis® QI offers
implementation of a METLIN library directly within Progenesis QI
Software for use with Waters’ high resolution mass spectrometry
(MS) systems. This library plug-in to Progenesis QI enhances
metabolomics researchers’ ability to confidently identify
metabolites in complex samples using mass spectrometry. METLIN is
one of the leading comprehensive metabolomic databases used by
researchers in the field.
Progenesis QI Software enables researchers to analyze complex
LC-MS data sets, visualize and extract reliable results, enabling
users to rapidly identify and quantify significant changes between
samples. The addition of direct access to the Waters METLIN MS/MS
library streamlines library searching and further complements the
comprehensive searching options already available within Progenesis
QI.
The METLIN library, created in 2004, is an industry-standard
resource developed Gary Siuzdak, professor and director of the
Scripps Center for Metabolomics and Mass Spectrometry at The
Scripps Research Institute. It represents one of the largest
collections of reference metabolite data commonly used to confirm
components in metabolomics experiments.
