Reducing costs for environmental companies through advances in automation
Testing for pesticides, polyaromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and other semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) traditionally requires labour-intensive sample handling and preparation that utilise large sample and solvent quantities at a considerable cost for our environmental analytical chemistry testing laboratories.
Join this webinar and discover an automated workflow to reduce solvent usage and costs, increase sample throughput, and improve data quality.
In this webinar, Dan Carrier, a specialist at ThermoFisher Scientific, will discuss how liquid-liquid extractions for SVOC analysis can be automated for high throughput environmental testing using the Thermo Scientific TriPlus RSH SMART autosampler coupled to GC-MS. Dan will share customer experiences with automation and a recent collaboration with John Quick at ALS Environmental using Dispersive Liquid-Liquid Microextraction (DLLME) for environmental contaminants. A video will show the instrumentation in action!
Learning points:
How to significantly reduce labor-time for sample preparation
How to save costs on solvent usage and reduce waste
How to improve data quality and reliability through automation
How to increase confidence in meeting regulatory requirements
Who should attend:
Environmental and water testing laboratories
Laboratory scientists and technicians using GC
Analytical chemistry laboratory managers
