Your
Challenges as an Environmental Testing
Laboratory
The determination of organic analytes
in drinking water and wastewater samples
are analyses carried out by many environmental
testing laboratories worldwide.
Traditional methodologies typically
involve manual separatory funnel or
continuous liquid-liquid extraction
(LLE) of the water samples with solvents.
The extract is dried using specially
prepared anhydrous sodium sulfate,
concentrated through an evaporation
step and analyzed using conventional
GC, GC/MS and HPLC. These methods
are labor intensive, use large amounts
of solvents, and require contaminate
free glassware.
Demands
have been placed upon environmental
testing laboratories to increase sample
throughput, shorten sample turnaround
times, achieve reproducible results,
provide lower detection limits, and
reduce harmful solvent vapor emissions
to the atmosphere.
Labs
have meet this challenge by optimizing
a Solid Phase Extraction
(SPE) method based on the Horizon
Technology automation systems, that
is rugged, fast, cost-effective, and
achieves low MDLs and reproducible
results.
Markets
served by Horizon Technology include:
- Biopharmaceutical
- Environmental
Monitoring
- Food
and Beverage
- Industrial
Chemical
- Homeland
Security
- Petrochemical
- Pharmaceutical
You
can meet your goals and maximize your
resources by automating the sample
preparation process.
