US-based manufacturer of mass spectrometry instrumentation used in biomedical and environmental applications, Sciex has launched the BioPhase 8800 driver for Empower software, which integrates the BioPhase 8800 system with the Empower Chromatography Data System (CDS) from Waters Technologies Corporation.

Scientists can now directly control the multi-capillary BioPhase 8800 system through the Empower CDS while maintaining the experimental flexibility of SCIEX capillary electrophoresis (CE) systems. This brings BioPhase 8800 system integration into standard workflows, helping to minimize method development, improve characterization and, ultimately, shorten drug development timelines.

Empower CDS is widely used in regulated biopharma labs for instrument control, data acquisition and data analysis for liquid chromatography (LC) and CE workflows.

The BioPhase 8800 driver for Empower software enables analytical scientists, both in regulated and non-regulated biopharma labs, to perform these tasks, all from a single software solution. This integration can enable better software validation, data integrity compliance, meeting of regulatory requirements and streamlined user training.
