Acquity Premier, a liquid chromatography (LC) solution that utilizes MaxPeak high-performance surface technology, was introduced by Waters in February 2021. Acquity Premier is a universal liquid chromatography solution that integrates the Acquity Premier system with Acquity Premier columns. It is intended to resolve issues with analyte/metal surface interactions in the context of the analysis of organic acids, organophosphates, oligonucleotides, phosphopeptides, acidic glycans, and phospholipids using reversed-phase and hydrophilic interaction chromatography.
The Acquity Premier columns are equipped with MaxPeak high-performance surface technology, which erects a barrier between the metal surface of the system and the column and the samples. The nonspecific adsorption is either wholly eliminated or mitigated by the technology. It is intended to resolve the issue of analyte/metal surface interactions in the analysis of organic acids, organophosphates, oligonucleotides, phosphopeptides, acidic glycans, and phospholipids through reversed phase and hydrophilic interaction chromatography. The new ACQUITY PREMIER solution for these analyses reduces the time from sample to results, enhances analyte recovery, and improves assay-to-assay reproducibility. This provides separation scientists with greater confidence in the integrity of their qualitative and quantitative analytical results.
Tosoh Bioscience LLC, a provider of chromatographic solutions for the separation and purification of biomolecules, has announced the introduction of SkillPak 1 mL and 5 mL pre-packed columns in March 2020. These process development columns are intended for the rapid development of methods and the resin screening of monoclonal antibodies, antibody constructs, oligonucleotides, proteins, and viruses. SkillPak 1 mL and 5 mL columns are pre-packed with TOYOPEARL®, TSKgel®, or Ca++Pure-HA™ process chromatography media, providing customers with increased flexibility for the use of process media from Tosoh.
As a result, they deliver high performance and offer scalability and convenience. Upon receipt, these columns are prepared for use and exhibit exceptional physical strength, as well as optimal flow characteristics specifically designed for industrial downstream processing. In the chromatographic modes of affinity, anion and cation exchange, hydrophobic interaction, and size exclusion, SkillPak 1 mL and 5 mL pre-packed columns are currently available with short delivery periods. The columns are designed to provide optimal performance and can be directly operated with low or medium pressure liquid chromatography systems that are frequently employed.

Hydrophobic Interaction Chromatography Market Regional Analysis
The hydrophobic interaction chromatography market consists of four regions, namely, the Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East and Africa. The Americas is expected to dominate the hydrophobic interaction chromatography market owing to the presence of government and public funding for protein-based research projects, rising automation of purification equipment, and growing demand for protein-based biologics. Additionally, the increasing research and development expenditure is expected to contribute to the market growth in the region. According to the UNESCO Institutes for Statistics, in the US, the research & development expenditure was 2.79% of the GDP (Gross Domestic Product) in 2015.
Europe is anticipated to hold the second largest position in the hydrophobic interaction chromatography market. It is expected that the increasing funding provided by the government and private organizations towards research and development is anticipated to drive the European market.
The Asia-Pacific hydrophobic interaction chromatography market consists of countries, namely, China, Japan, the Republic of Korea, India, Australia, and the Rest of Asia-Pacific. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest growing region in the hydrophobic interaction chromatography market. Major factors such as a growing number of contract research organizations, developing healthcare infrastructure, increasing research and development activities in the biotechnology sector and increasing healthcare expenditure influence the market in this region.
The Middle East and Africa holds the least share in the hydrophobic interaction chromatography market due to the presence of stringent government policies and poor economies. However, growing awareness among the population and high investments by private market players in this region can boost the market growth.
Recent Development
According to the European Federation of Pharmaceutical Industries and Associations, the pharmaceutical sector spent EUR 35000 million on research and development in 2016. Furthermore, the growing number of contract research and manufacturing businesses is likely to boost the market growth. According to the UNESCO Institutes for Statistics, research and development expenditure in the United States was 2.79 percent of GDP in 2015. Additionally, rising R&D spending is likely to add to regional market growth. The global market for hydrophobic interaction chromatography is fragmented and competitive for this company. To enhance its market share, this player is focused on product developments, new product launches, and geographical expansions.
