How you can boost the performance of your analytical workflows for VOCs and SVOCs

Join us and our partners as we co-host a webinar introducing how you can boost the performance of your analytical workflows for VOCs and SVOCs analysis and future-proof them for emerging challenges impacting environmental laboratories.

In this webinar, you will learn the latest advancements in GC/MS and GC-MS/MS technology and how they will help your lab to:

• Accelerate method’s update or optimization during routine operations or when switching to alternative carrier gases by using Automatic Adjustment of Retention Time and LabSolutions.

• Minimize rework by employing an enhanced tuning algorithm and hardware for prolonged stability and ruggedness.

• Reduce costs for sample shipping and preparation while becoming a more sustainable and safer environmental lab.
