Integrate DigitalGlassware. Just how big is this going to be?
The Company’s newest software technology, UNIFITM, is a scientific information system that is the culmination of a multi-year effort to substantially bring all of Waters’ preexisting, distinct software systems under one operating system. UNIFI joins Waters’ suite of informatics products – EmpowerTM Chromatography Data Software, MassLynxTM Mass Spectrometry Software and NuGenesisTM Scientific Data Management System, each of which is used to support innovations within world-leading institutions. UNIFI is the industry’s first comprehensive software that seamlessly integrates UPLC chromatography, mass spectrometry and informatics data workflows. In 2018, the Company announced new analysis capabilities across a variety of molecules by integrating UNIFI acquired data from the Company’s VionTM IMS QTof or Xevo GS XS mass spectrometers with Molecular Discovery’s Mass-MetaSite and WebMetabase processing software.
The Company has one of the largest direct sales and service organizations focused exclusively on the analytical workflows offered by the Company. Across these product technologies, using respective specialized sales and service workforces, the Company serves its customer base with 56 sales offices throughout the world as of December 31, 2019 and approximately 4,000, 3,900 and 3,800 field representatives in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
UNIFI Scientific Information System
Waters UNIFI Scientific Information System is the first software platform to merge LC and high performance MS data (both quadrupole and time-of-flight) into a single solution that encompasses data acquisition, processing, visualization, reporting, and configurable compliance tools within a networked laboratory environment.
UNIFI provides organizations the flexibility to deploy UNIFI-based systems within regulated and non-regulated laboratory environments while employing high resolution UPLC separations and high performance mass spectrometry across the entirety of discovery, development, and quality control. And UNIFIs data mining and comparison capabilities enhance your ability to understand results with an unparalleled capability to aggregate and manage data.
Streamline LC-MS Workflows
Laboratory automation is quickly becoming a critical component of the modern lab to streamline pharmaceutical, life science, and analytical LC-MS workflows. Automation of routine and complex sample preparation helps minimize variability, improve traceability, and simplify method transfer. Ultimately bringing improved efficiency to the lab and allowing scientists to increase their productivity.
