Manager John Keith Overcomes Big Challenges with
Horizon Technology |
| Recently,
Keith brought onboard a “helping hand.” A new, automated
sample preparation system takes the water sample,
adds the proper solvents needed, and extracts out
the pesticides and herbicides, replacing a previously
labor-intensive method that the staff had to manually
perform. Staff time spent on this chore has been
reduced by up to 70 percent thanks to this automated
extraction system, he adds. |

| Northeast
Analytical, Inc., Develops a Method for Determining
PCBs in Water Using Horizon Technology Solution |
Polychlorinated
Biphenyls (PCB) are a worldwide contamination problem.
Because PCBs are long lived in the environment and
bioaccumulate throughout the food chain a great
deal of research and regulations has been implemented.
Northeast Analytical met the challenge by optimizing
an SPE method based on the Horizon Technology SPE-DEX
4790 instrumentation.

Bentazone in
River Water |
| When
the Bavarian Water Management Agency lowered the
detection limit of Bentazone to 50 ng/L for
the year-long study they were conducting of the
Isar River, they had to develop an entirely new
automated SPE method that was able to handle the
influent samples and achieve the desired detection
limit. |
