Becoming an integral part of Waters is a natural way for us to expand our business dramatically. “For decades, we have seen firsthand how closely Waters and Wyatt’s scientific heritage, ethos, and values have been aligned. Philip Wyatt, Chairman and Founder of Wyatt Technology. “For more than 40 years, our company has delighted its customers using the unique products and unparalleled personal service we deliver to support life-enhancing large molecule therapeutics,” said Dr. We look forward to welcoming the Wyatt team to the Waters family.” We share a common mission to harness our technology and deep scientific expertise to increase the availability and affordability of life-changing therapies. “While biologics therapies, including cell and gene therapies, can dramatically change the quality of life for a significant percentage of the population, the cost of delivering these therapies is a major barrier for broader adoption. Udit Batra, President and CEO, Waters Corporation. Now we are entering the next phase of our strategy to accelerate value creation and generate faster growth,” said Dr. “Over the past two years, Waters has regained our commercial momentum, revitalized innovation and put an outstanding leadership team in place. Together, its innovative product offerings are used across the value chain in discovery, product development, manufacturing, and QA/QC settings to determine the critical quality attributes of novel therapeutics such as cell and gene therapies, vaccines, and proteins, as well as synthetic polymers and nanoparticles. Over the years, Wyatt has added several complementary technologies, including well-plate based dynamic light scattering and field-flow fractionation for separating nanoparticles in solution. Since Wyatt's scientists were the first to commercialize on-line multi-angle laser light scattering instruments more than 40 years ago, Wyatt has been defining and redefining state-of-the-art macromolecular characterization instrumentation, software, and services to solve its customers’ unmet needs. With a worldwide workforce of more than 200 employees, Wyatt has been delivering world-class training and personal service to a global base of scientific customers.
