Technical Notes

Sample preparation GC-MS

Samples that are to be analysed by GC-MS often contain dirty compounds that sometimes require ‘specialist’ sample preparation as detailed in this guide.

Technical Notes

Importance of using analytical standards – qualitative and quantitative analysis

Analyte confirmation can be specified as a requirement for method validation to ensure that compounds during the analysis have been correctly identified. This can be important across many industries to ensure active ingredient(s) and/ or impurities within a sample can be validated

How Can We Improve Our Solid Phase Extraction Processes?

Solid phase extraction (SPE) is a powerful sample preparation technique used across many different industries including pharmaceutical, environmental and forensics. The main aims of sample preparation is to remove or minimise sample matrix effects.
