Environmental Testing Challenges
Environmental labs run high sample volumes against regulatory limits that leave little room for error. Every result may be reviewed, audited, or challenged.

Five Essentials for Ion Chromatography Applications
In this webinar, our team discusses five critical essentials to improve your Ion Chromatography (IC) methods. IC is a useful technique for analyzing a wide variety of environmental, pharmaceutical, and food/beverage sample types. However, long analysis time means that any error in your analysis could result in a severe impact on sample throughput. Our team covers interferences, method development, and instrument troubleshooting. We also shared tips on how to lower background conductivity and save time on constructing working standards.
Heavy Metals Testing: Considerations for an ICP Analysis of the Big Four
Dr. Lesley Owens and Autumn Phillips focus on the most common heavy metals analyzed in trace ICP analyses: Arsenic, Cadmium, Lead, and Mercury. They review current specifications in the pharmaceutical, food, and cannabis industries, discuss techniques for sample preparation, address common compatibility and stability concerns, and examine issues specific to ICP-OES and ICP-MS testing of these analytes.
