Recent Advances in Sample Prep for POPs

Welcome to Thermo Fisher Scientific’s Powering Productivity in Food and Environmental Testing webinar series!

Sample preparation for POPs analysis creates one of the biggest bottlenecks in the analytical workflow. With such diverse matrices and compounds of potential interference, the sample prep process can be very manual and therefore prone to introducing errors- threatening productivity in food and environmental testing labs globally.

In this presentation, our expert Chris Shevlin will introduce a new solution for automating this process, allowing you to extract your analyte of interest, whether a pesticide, dioxin or organic pollutant, in a way that is robust, reproducible and enables your lab to become more efficient by handling multiple samples and extractions at the same time.
