- Waters Corporation (WAT, Financial) integrates Multi-Angle Light Scattering detectors with Empower Software, reducing software validation time by up to 6 months.
- Analysis time for biotherapeutic peptides and proteins is decreased by 20% with the new integration.
- The integration enhances biologics quality control by providing absolute molecular weight measurements.
Waters Corporation (WAT) has unveiled a significant enhancement to its Empower™ Software by incorporating Multi-Angle Light Scattering (MALS) and differential Refractive Index (RI) instruments from its Wyatt Technology™ Portfolio. This strategic move aims to revolutionize biologics data acquisition and quality control in the biopharmaceutical industry.
The integration of MALS techniques, including DAWN™, miniDAWN™, and OptiLab™ Detectors, allows for comprehensive quality control analysis, significantly reducing software validation time by up to six months. The advancement also slashes the analysis time for biotherapeutic peptides and proteins by 20%, providing more efficient biotherapeutic workflows by revealing high molecular weight species invisible to other detectors.
Scheduled for release in July 2025, the new capabilities of Empower Software will enhance operational efficiency and comply with Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) requirements. Currently, Empower Software is used in more than 80% of novel drug submissions to regulatory agencies, making this integration a vital tool for streamlining compliance processes.
Dr. Udit Batra, President & CEO of Waters Corporation, commented, "This integration underscores our commitment to advancing analytical technologies. By combining the strengths of our compliant software with cutting-edge MALS instrumentation, we are providing a unified solution that supports high-volume quality control testing and ensures the safety of life-saving biologic therapies."
