Developing a new sample prep method should be systematic to ensure ruggedness and can be done quickly with the right tools. The days of using a vacuum manifold are gone, along with the variability and...

Correct pretreatment of samples prior to supported liquid extraction (SLE) produces better partitioning and cleaner extracts. Supported liquid extraction (SLE) is a simple clean-up technique similar t...

Choosing the SLE correct elution solvent based on analyte properties produces the cleanest extracts with the highest recoveries.

This concept seems simple today, but traditional nitrogen evaporators haven’t been overhauled for many years. Even in our lab we were not able to store evaporation methods…until now!

As a chemist, I’ve constantly stressed the importance of proper sample preparation. Whether I’m diluting, digesting, preconcentrating, extracting, or performing a combination of these, sample preparat...

“I love doing maintenance. It’s the best part of my week” – said nobody ever. Let’s be honest. We all dread performing maintenance. Why? It’s boring. I’m a chemist and I’d rather spend my time using m...
