 ◦ Faster run times for GLP-1, insulin, and LNP drug substance testing accelerates
   biopharmaceutical development timelines and reduces production bottlenecks.
 ◦ Delivers up to 2x increase in resolving power and sensitivity to identify and
   track low-level impurities for improved regulatory readiness.
 ◦ Industry-first chemical and physical particle optimization delivers reproducible
   methods for increasingly complex biologics.

MILFORD, Mass., June 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — 55th International Symposium on High
Performance Liquid Phase Separations and Related Techniques—Waters Corporation (
NYSE: WAT) today announced the launch of the BioResolve™ Peptide and GTxResolve™
Lipid Phenyl-Hexyl+ and C18+ Columns, a first-of-its-kind reversed-phase (RP) column
platform designed to tackle a persistent biopharmaceutical challenge: reliably separating
structurally and chemically similar impurities in GLP-1 peptides, insulin, and lipid
nanoparticles (LNPs) to support the development of safe, effective drug products.

Waters has introduced to market specifically QC batch-tested for GLP-1 analysis 
and lipid nanoparticles, solving a longstanding customer pain point.

 

In GLP-1 receptor agonists and newer mRNA-based therapies such as in vivo CAR T,
difficulty resolving impurities can delay time to market, weaken regulatory confidence,
and affect patient safety. Traditional RP columns do not always separate low-level
or closely related impurities well, often requiring longer analyses, detector-suppressing
mobile-phase additives, or repeated method redevelopment. BioResolve Peptide and
GTxResolve Lipid Columns help to overcome these limitations with ready-to-use methods
that improve both resolution^(1,2 )and speed^(2,3) while fitting into existing workflows.

"We have made simultaneous advances in both chemistry and particle physics to deliver
the first columns Waters has introduced to market specifically QC batch-tested for
GLP‑1 analysis^(4) and lipid nanoparticles,^(2) solving a longstanding customer 
pain point," said Erin Chambers, Vice President, General Manager, Consumables & 
Lab Automation, Waters Analytical Sciences, Waters Corporation. "BioResolve Peptide
and GTxResolve Lipid Columns are designed to resolve chemically similar GLP‑1 impurities
and LNP components faster when speed matters,^(2,3) and with extraordinary resolution
^(1) when certainty is required. The result is simpler method development, regulatory‑
ready data,^(5) and faster, highly reproducible methods, ultimately helping to reduce
cost burdens on important new therapeutics."

BioResolve Peptide and GTxResolve Lipid Columns use specially designed surface chemistries
and superficially porous particles to deliver precise RP separations with selectivity
for two difficult sample types. Available in Phenyl-Hexyl+ and C18+ chemistries 
with 230 Å pore size particles, they are designed to support efficient mass transfer,
consistent performance across U(H)PLC and HPLC systems, and reliable, batch-tested
results^(5) from early-stage research through manufacturing.

GLP-1 peptides are especially challenging to analyze because many impurities differ
by just one atom, while others have no difference in atomic composition and vary
only in how their atoms are arranged spatially. BioResolve Peptide Phenyl-Hexyl+
and C18+ Columns are built to resolve these difficult impurities, with specialized
300 mm formats available when maximum separation performance and deeper impurity
characterization are required.

"The BioResolve Peptide RP Columns have performed exceptionally well, showing outstanding
resolution between our peptide therapeutics and related impurities," said Ashish
Kanhed, Group Leader, Alembic Pharmaceuticals. "We are highly impressed with their
quality and look forward to continuing to use them for our complex GLP-1 and peptide
separations. By discriminating critical impurities at speed with a mass spectrometry-
based QC approach, we can now satisfy present and future regulatory requirements
in one run for faster, more confident answers on molecular purity."

For LNP and lipid workflows, the charged surface of GTxResolve Columns helps sharpen
peaks for ionizable lipids by reducing tailing. Their larger pore size makes it 
easier for a wide range of lipid molecules to move through the column, improving
peak shape and resolving challenging co-elutions. In addition, the superficially
porous particle design speeds the movement of molecules through the stationary phase,
shortening run times without reducing selectivity.^(2)

"GTxResolve Lipid RP Columns have demonstrated strong performance for lipid quantitation
and impurity analysis, with reduced run times and excellent peak shape," said Adam
Kowalczyk, Research Scientist II, Analytical Development, Acuitas Therapeutics. "
The ability to tune separations for specific lipid components, combined with compatibility
across multiple detector platforms (UV, MS, ELSD, and CAD), provides significant
flexibility for characterization of diverse lipid species. In particular, we have
observed a separation of ionizable lipids that has not previously been achieved."

Waters’ BioResolve Peptide and GTxResolve Lipid Columns will be available globally
beginning June 9, 2026, starting with the 1.6 µm Phenyl-Hexyl+ phase.  For more
