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