PFAS soil testing Investigating the forever chemical   Perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are synthetic chemicals known for their stability and durability, giving them the label the ‘forever chemicals’. Their properties make them ideal for use in countless commercial and industrial applications, ranging from food packaging and non-stick pans to electronics and fire-fighting foams. However,

We are delighted to announce that the ePrep ONE – a fully automated, end-to-end sample preparation platform for chromatography – can now be implemented for compliance with 21 CFR Part 11, enabling its use in pharmaceutical applications overseen by the FDA. Our team has worked diligently to develop a software upgrade that achieves this milestone,

ePrep is delighted to announce a new partnership with Agilent – a global leader in technology platforms for analytical laboratories – for the distribution of the ePrep® ONE workstation in selected regions. The ePrep ONE is a fully automated solution for end-to-end chromatography sample preparation, which Agilent will be supplying alongside its extensive portfolio of

Anyone who has had to prepare samples for chromatography knows that it can be a complex and labour-intensive task, which can make it prone to errors when carried out manually. But getting it wrong can lead to a whole host of problems, from reducing column life and potential instrument downtime to impacting on the separation

There is no denying the skills gap that is now prevalent across just about all scientific industries, especially chemistry, with organisations struggling to recruit experienced staff. Automation is often touted as a practical solution to this challenge, with modern instruments capable of carrying out repetitive tasks in place of human operators. When thinking about automation,

The demands on technicians and analysts in multitasking analytical laboratories are increasingly apparent in an environment that necessitates accuracy, speed, and reliability. Analysts and managers find themselves in an unnerving state of prioritizing tasks and workflows, balancing analytical instrument use with sample preparation capacity and their technical resources. Simplifying workflows is considered a means to

Laboratories the world over are in the midst of a robotic revolution, where highly complex automation platforms are making quick work of even the most intricate workflows. Until recently, analytical chemistry labs have largely missed out on this transformation, with many processes still performed manually, involving numerous sample preparation steps, often with minuscule volumes. This

Did you know that automated sample preparation can dramatically reduce your lab’s environmental footprint? The secret lies in the reduction of reaction volumes. Buffers, solvents and more specialised and costly reagents are integral to laboratory operation, used in everything from basic chemical reactions to sophisticated molecular analyses, making them fundamental building blocks of scientific advances.
