Water & Environmental Analysis User Meeting - Day 1

This meeting covers the latest trends and techniques to meet current water and environmental testing demands for emerging contaminants and evolving regulations. Our guest speakers from the water industry and environmental research and testing laboratories will share their expertise on their latest work, analytical workflows, and automation.

Join us and discover valuable insights to maximise testing productivity and instrument uptime, simplify workflows and standardise data workup.

June 27 (Day 1) Emerging contaminants

This session will explore PFAS, microplastics, untargeted screening, automation and sample preparation.
