Shimadzu will collaborate with Waters to develop software to allows control of Prominence liquid chromatographs using Waters Empower chromatography software
This collaboration will combine the strengths of both companies, and will benefit customers by providing a more integrated solution for users requiring multi-vendor compatibility.
Waters Empower software offers database-driven data and user-control features that have made it the world's most widely used chromatography data system for quality control applications in industries such as pharmaceuticals.
Shimadzu's Prominence liquid chromatograph systems are highly regarded for their performance, reliability and value, and are the most widely used liquid chromatographs in certain regions including Japan.
To manage data, quality control departments in the pharmaceutical industry increasingly need to integrate the data from multiple chromatographs used in their laboratories.
Consequently, there is an increasing demand for a single chromatography data system that can operate chromatographs from a variety of manufacturers (multi-vendor compatibility).
This collaboration between Shimadzu and Waters will respond to such changing needs of users and will allow the Shimadzu Prominence systems to be used with Empower software with seamless control, which was impossible before.
