In recent years, laboratories have faced challenges such as data fragmentation, manual analysis, and difficulties in utilizing real-time data, due to the increase in data volume and the sophistication of regulatory compliance. On the other hand, the evolution of technologies like cloud computing and AI/ML has led to the emergence of new operational models that enable faster and higher-quality decision-making through data integration, visualization, and advanced analysis. However, there are still many cases where organizations lack a concrete image of how to incorporate these technologies into the laboratory environment and apply them to actual operations. This series consists of two sessions, which will clarify the background that necessitates lab digital transformation (DX), outline the direction for data integration and AI utilization, and introduce methods for implementation through Waters' cloud platform. Additionally, we will explain practical use cases and specific deployment methods for actual operations. ■ Event Dates August 25, 2026 (Tuesday) - The Frontline of Lab DX: Overcoming Data Fragmentation for Next-Generation Laboratories October 20, 2026 (Tuesday) - Lab DX Implementation Guide: A Practical Roadmap from Data Integration to AI Utilization

In October of last year, the ICH Q14 "Guideline for the Development of Analytical Methods" was implemented in Japan. While traditional methods of analytical method development are still permitted, the Analytical Quality by Design (AQbD) approach, which is described as a "more advanced method" based on scientific evidence and risk, allows for the development of more robust analytical methods that ensure parameter variations do not affect analytical results. Therefore, in this webinar, we will first review the overview of the ICH Q14 "Guideline for the Development of Analytical Methods," and then introduce the specific flow of implementing AQbD, along with case studies of analytical method development utilizing software that supports this process. ■ Target Audience - Individuals involved in analytical method development in the pharmaceutical and food sectors, or those interested in analytical method development. ■ Program - Overview of the ICH Q14 "Guideline for the Development of Analytical Methods" - Specific flow of AQbD - Case studies of analytical method development utilizing AQbD support software

In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in interest in lab automation in the fields of research and development, quality control, and analytical work, driven by the need to address workforce shortages, increased workload, improve data quality, and enhance productivity. On the other hand, there are not a few cases where organizations face challenges such as the failure to establish operations after introducing automated systems, dependency on specific personnel, lack of alignment with existing operations, and not achieving the expected ROI. In this webinar, we will explain the necessary mindset and preparations for successfully implementing lab automation from the perspective of "Automation Ready." We will also organize common challenges and failure patterns observed during automation implementation, and, using actual case studies, introduce how to advance business visualization, standardization, and operational design. This content will be useful not only for those considering lab automation but also for those who have already started the implementation but are facing challenges. 【Recommended for the following individuals】 - Those considering lab automation - Those looking to improve the efficiency of research/analytical work

We will hold a webinar series delivering knowledge and know-how about GPC/SEC over four sessions. GPC/SEC is highly specialized and requires specific skills to use correctly. In this series, we will carefully explain common questions and challenges faced by GPC/SEC users, covering everything from basic principles to equipment and column management, calibration, molecular weight calculation, and troubleshooting, with the aim of enhancing your ability to handle these issues independently after viewing. We will also introduce support systems to facilitate analysis operations, as well as examples of the latest technologies combined with ultra-fast GPC systems and mass spectrometers (MS). Session 1: Basics of GPC/SEC Date: October 7 (Tuesday) Session 2: Calibration Curves for GPC/SEC Date: October 21 (Tuesday) Session 3: Molecular Weight Calculation for GPC/SEC Date: November 4 (Tuesday) Session 4: Troubleshooting for GPC/SEC Date: December 2 (Tuesday) All sessions: 15:00 - 16:00
