PFAS: a problem and an opportunity for the laboratory<\/strong><\/h5>\n

There is no getting around it: PFAS is recognised worldwide as a major environmental problem.<\/p>\n

However, this also presents an opportunity for laboratories \u2014 an opportunity to contribute to mapping PFAS in soil, water and food<\/b> and thus play a valuable role in protecting the environment and public health.<\/p>\n

Determining PFAS is challenging: extremely low concentrations, high risk of contamination and a need for reliable, reproducible results.<\/p>\n

A good analysis starts with good sample preparation<\/b> \u2014 without that foundation, even the best analysis method loses its value.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/h3>\n

Why attend this seminar<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Do you spend too much time on PFAS (soil) extraction and repeat the same manual steps every day?<\/p>\n

Then this seminar is for you.<\/p>\n

Discover a fully automated PFAS extraction workflow with the ePrep\u00ae ONE<\/b><\/a> and Advion-Interchim SPE-LV6<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

During this seminar, we will show you how to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • minimise<\/b> manual operations<\/li>\n
  • significantly increase<\/b> the throughput<\/b> of your analyses<\/li>\n
  • and still achieve low quantification limits<\/b> (e.g. 0.02 \u00b5g\/kg for soil).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    And in the afternoon, you can experience the technologies for yourself during practical hands-on demonstrations of the ePrep\u00ae ONE, SPE systems and additional sample prep tools.<\/p>\n

    This will allow you to see in practice how automation works \u2014 from extraction to clean-up \u2014 and what this can mean for your own workflow.<\/p>\n

    In short: in just one day, you will discover how you can make your PFAS sample preparation faster, cleaner and more reliable with modern, integrated solutions.<\/p>\n

    Our contribution<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Instrument Solutions is organising this day together with experts from Advion Interchim<\/b><\/a>, ePrep Europe<\/b><\/a> and Salm en Kipp<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n

    We are pooling our knowledge to demonstrate how SPE<\/b> and \u00b5SPE<\/b> can be efficiently combined into a complete and automated workflow \u2013 from extraction to analysis.<\/p>\n

    In addition, cryogenic grinding<\/b><\/a> and microwave sample preparation<\/b><\/a> will be briefly explained as complementary techniques for optimally preparing samples for PFAS determination.<\/p>\n
