PATROL Represents Best-in-Class Product Quality and Reliability for
Real-Time Chromatographic Analysis of In-Process Samples
MILFORD, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov. 11, 2014--
Waters Corporation (WAT:NYSE) today announced it received the 2014
Product Innovation Award for PATROL UPLC® Process Analysis
System from Frost & Sullivan in the Global Process Liquid Chromatography
market.
Since it was first introduced in 2004, ACQUITY UltraPerformance Liquid
Chromatography® (UPLC®) pioneered a new category
of chromatographic performance with the commercialization of sub-2-μm
(micron) particle columns engineered in tandem with advanced
instrumentation and fluidics modules to deliver superior performance at
higher pressures. In 2010, Waters expanded the scope of its UPLC
technology to process environments by launching the PATROL UPLC Process
Analysis System based on ACQUITY UPLC Technology.
Janani Balasundar, industry analyst at Frost & Sullivan, noted, "With a
perfect mix of technological expertise and extensive market experience,
Waters has helped its customers reap an abundance of benefits by
optimizing process operations with strict conformity to existing
regulatory standards. The PATROL UPLC Process Analysis System is most
often used in applications in research and development, quality control,
and process engineering."
Balasundar continues, saying, PATROL UPLC combines "a unique blend of
functionally rich attributes, which includes speed of analysis, ability
to generate calibration curves for quantitation of different analytes,
and availability of an automated barcode reader; this distinguishes
Waters Corporation’s systems in the market."
“On behalf of the employees of Waters, we are honored to receive this
recognition from such a respected organization like Frost & Sullivan,”
said Rohit Khanna, Vice President of Worldwide Marketing and Informatics
for the Waters Division. “The PATROL UPLC Process Analysis System
provides our customers, for the first time, the combination of
automation and UPLC together for direct online connection to their
processes with real-time UPLC analysis.”
