An Economical and Green approach for the Total Analysis of Dioxins, PCBs and PBDEs.
Several recent advances in New Automated Sample Prep Systems and Chemistries have been made. These advances have greatly reduced the costs and solvent consumption associated with the analysis of Dioxins, PCBs and PBDEs delivering consistent, high recoveries for the analysis in the same day. Register to attend a Webinar November 18th to learn more about recent advances in Sample Prep systems and Chemistries.

LCGC TV: Luigi Mondello on the Future of 2D LC in Food Analysis
Comprehensive liquid chromatography (LC) is a multidimensional technique that has the potential to increase peak capacity resolution when separating complex mixtures, especially in food analysis. In this new video from LCGC TV, Luigi Mondello from the University of Messina, Italy, discusses the future of 2D LC in food analysis and the role that 3D LC will play.
 
NEW WEBINAR: ENHANCED MATRIX REMOVAL FOR FATTY SAMPLES
Are lipids weighing your samples down? Are you worried about losing analytes? This webinar will show how Bond Elut Enhanced Matrix Removal—Lipid can dramatically reduce lipid interferences while retaining analytes. EMR—Lipid fits easily into existing QuEChERS and dSPE workflows so you can analyze fatty samples faster and with more confidence.
