Simplify water testing workflows

Enhance productivity for water analysis through automation and methods consolidation using GC-MS and ICP-MS/OES

Water quality assessment is of primary concern for environmental protection, therefore analytical monitoring for organic and inorganic contaminants according to regulatory requirements represents an intensive workload for water testing laboratories. GC-MS and ICP-MS/OES technologies are required to perform the myriad of tests to ensure water safety. Advanced technologies are available to simplify workflows, reduce costs of operation and relieve labor time through automation. 
The following resources will give insights on:

  • Different techniques for water testing 

  • Implementation of automation in daily workflows improving data quality 

  • Method consolidation to increase productivity 


Cost savings and increased data quality through automation

GC-MS/MS offers an increase in selectivity, allowing matrix interferences to be significantly reduced. This produces more confidence in sample results and allows an increase in productivity.
