PFAS has excellent chemical properties such as water and oil repellency and surfactant characteristics, and is used in a wide range of fields. On the other hand, due to its persistence and bioaccumulation, numerous cases of PFAS detection in water quality, the environment, and food have been reported both domestically and internationally. As a result, countries are advancing regulations and monitoring efforts, and there is a demand for more sensitive and accurate measurement technologies. In Japan, a ministerial ordinance was announced to raise the water quality standards for "PFOS" and "PFOA," which will take effect in April 2026. Waters is focusing on developing methods for trace analysis of PFAS in various samples. In addition to providing analytical instruments, we offer insights on sample preparation and blank contamination prevention, as well as equipment service and support, along with consulting services tailored to analytical needs.

The self-inspection regarding the contamination of nitrosamines in pharmaceuticals, notified by the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in October 2021, has a deadline of August 1, 2025. By the deadline, it is necessary to measure the amount of nitrosamines contained in items at risk of contamination, and if the levels exceed the limit, risk reduction measures such as setting standard values must be taken. When setting standard values for nitrosamines, it is essential to use systems and analytical conditions that enable high-sensitivity analysis, and we also want the systems to have the robustness to withstand daily analysis. Waters supports high-sensitivity and robust analysis of nitrosamines with total solutions including high-sensitivity and robust mass spectrometers, LC systems and columns that achieve high separation, and informatics, as a specialized manufacturer of LC and mass spectrometry.

The introduction of LC/MS in bioprocessing is progressing overseas. You might be thinking, "I use LC, but MS is difficult..." BioAccord is here to solve that concern. With its simple operability and high reproducibility, it is a recommended system for bioprocess engineers. Do you have any such impressions or questions? ■ Is evaluating aggregates sufficient with just LC? With LC/MS, you can also confirm the intact mass. ■ Is it enough to just confirm major post-translational modifications? With LC/MS, you can perform peptide mapping and post-translational modifications in a single analysis. ■ Is it sufficient to monitor only amino acids? With LC/MS, you can comprehensively detect components* in the culture medium, and integration with JMP is also possible. *Dependent on component concentration. ■ How do you preprocess samples taken from a bioreactor? It's easier than you think. After filtering out particulates, you can simply dilute with water or buffer to measure the intact mass of components and antibodies in the medium. Waters has a walk-up solution to automate this process. *For details, please download the catalog.
