Proposals are solicited for the 2013 James L. Waters Symposia to recognize the collaborative<br />
work of those who pioneered the invention, development, implementation, and<br />
commercialization of analytical instrumentation of established and exceptional importance.<br />
Proposals should include a brief discussion of the topic and a list of potential symposium<br />
participants who can speak authoritatively on that topic.<br />

JAMES L. WATERS, ENTREPRENEUR, SPONSOR OF THE WATERS SYMPOSIUM AT PITTCON<br />
James L. Waters has been a unique<br />
contributor to the <strong>Pittcon</strong> Technical<br />
<strong>Program</strong> since 1990 through his<br />
funding of the James L. Waters Annual<br />
Symposium to recognize pioneers in<br />
the conception, development,<br />
implementation, and commercialization<br />
of scientific instrumentation of major<br />
and established significance.<br />
Mr. Waters has been an entrepreneur since his graduation<br />
from Columbia University in 1946. At age 22, he established<br />
J. L. Waters, Inc. manufacturing IR gas analyzers, sold that<br />
company in 1955, and established Waters Associates in 1958.<br />
He developed an airborne hydrometer, flame photometer<br />
detectors, and refractometers for various applications.<br />
He further developed the refractometer into a sensor for<br />
the then little-known liquid chromatograph (LC), and<br />
eventually a small-volume sensor for gel-permeation<br />
chromatograph (GPC).<br />
WatersAssociates’ first GPC, introduced at the 1964 <strong>Pittcon</strong>,<br />
was a great commercial success. In 1968, Mr. Waters refocused<br />
his efforts on chromatographic sensors and introduced their<br />
first LC system in 1969. Waters Associates trademarked the<br />
tagline, “The Liquid Chromatography People”, after they<br />
helped purify positional isomers of a precursor to vitamin B12<br />
for Nobel Laureate Robert Woodward of Harvard University. In<br />
1992 Waters introduced software for chromatography, and in<br />
1994 HPLC columns for drug assays and a benchtop LC-MS. All<br />
of these actions fueled the growth of Waters Associates,<br />
which, under Mr. Waters’ leadership from 1958 to 1980,<br />
grew from 5 to 1100 employees with an annual sales volume<br />
around $100 million, and to 4000 employees worldwide<br />
with an annual sales volume in excess of $1 billion.<br />
Mr. Waters has been a private venture capitalist since 1980. He<br />
is currently President of Waters Business Systems and enjoys<br />
working with young entrepreneurs. Mr. Waters endowed the<br />
James L. Waters Chair in Analytical Chemistry at Northeastern<br />
University. The name “Waters” has become synonymous with<br />
“LC” in the scientific community.<br />
