Waters Corporation and the University of Delaware in the US have announced the grand opening of Immerse Delaware, a new Waters innovation and research laboratory. As part of their multi-year research partnership announced in October 2021, the lab opening is the first step on a journey to collaborate with biopharma scientists both in industry and academia to advance industrial processes for making and characterising biotherapeutics. Located at the University of Delaware Science, Technology and Advanced Research (STAR) campus, Immerse Delaware is a fully functional, fitfor-purpose, bioprocess laboratory enabling a dedicated focus on the entire manufacturing process from clone selection to quality control (QC) of drug substances. It will give students, faculty and industry researchers access to use and evaluate state-of-the-art analytical technologies from Waters as well as novel analytics, consumables and software that will enable the next generation of biotherapeutics.
