Managing Editor and Clinical Lead

Clinical laboratories around the world are focused on reporting quality and truth in results, and LC-MS is becoming the analytical technique of choice. Accurate test results are necessary for clinical research and discovery, as well as routine diagnostic testing.

Waters provides a diverse portfolio of LC-MS/MS systems – including those designed for the research laboratory - as well as a versatile array of medical devices for in vitro diagnostics.

Waters’ laboratory solutions integrate chromatography, mass spectrometry, consumables, data management software, reagents, service, and support. So, whether you are in search of a novel biomarker, identifying the latest designer drug, or looking to take a routine laboratory test to a new level of performance, Waters can help you make a difference.

Visit Waters at AACC, booth #621 for their in-booth lecture series and live demonstration of the new UNIFI Scientific Information System software platform for Forensic Toxicology.

Waters' posters on Mass Spectrometry Applications will be presented on Tuesday, July 29th.
