Waters UNIFI™ Data Now Readable From Our Byos® Software

We’re pleased to announce a collaboration that extends capabilities for Waters’ discovery and early development users to characterize biotherapeutic molecules using the Byos® software platform. By integrating UNIFI™ acquired data with Protein Metrics’ Byos platform, scientists now have new large molecule workflow and reporting tools for research and development.
“The Waters team continues to be a proud and engaged partner with Protein Metrics,” said Phil Kilby, Global Business Development Leader at Waters. “It’s been a great experience to see our joint organizational goals come to fruition in helping our joint biopharmaceutical customers worldwide to generate automated, high throughput analysis and reporting, from routine to highly complex workflows.”
The Waters UNIFI Scientific Information System is a software platform with a widespread user base that merges 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. As part of the Waters initiative to open UNIFI products to third-party developers, this collaboration enables high throughput characterization and analysis of even the most challenging large molecules. Protein Metric’s Byos Platform launches automated workflows with one click of the mouse, allowing researchers to move from raw file to report in just minutes. Designed to support users with a range of expertise, Byos significantly improves laboratory efficiency, reproducibility, and reporting. The platform offers comprehensive workflows that range from System Suitability, to Post-translational Modification (PTM)  and Multi-Attribute Method (MAM) Analysis, to Host Cell Protein (HCP) and Sequence Variant Analysis, to Intact and Reduced Mass Analysis, to Antibody Drug Conjugate (ADC) and Oxidative Footprinting.
“This collaboration will help biopharmaceutical customers worldwide to generate automated, high throughput analysis and reporting, from routine to highly complex workflows,” said Eric Carlson, Ph.D., President and CEO of Protein Metrics. “Waters’ UNIFI initiative is a great way for Protein Metrics to expand our Byos platform and provide additional performance to our customers.”
