  • We Have Come a Long WayAutomation has significantly changed our throughput

    • In 1987 one person (original LLE & semi-automated cleanup method) could process 10 samples for TCDD only in 5 days.

    • Today one person (using SPE & PowerPrep) can process 60 samples in 5 days for PCDDs/PCDFs/cPCBs + PCNs and PBDDs/PBDFs.

    • In addition today one person (using SPE & Rapid Trace) can process 150 samples in 5 days for PCBs (including mPCBs for TEQ), OC pesticides and PBDEs.

  • Observation from the „real world‟ by an analytical

    chemist who retired after 57 years from NIST ...

    It has been estimated that concentrations of 1 in 1018 of almost any

    substance can be expected to be present in almost any sample. This

    translates to approximately a thousand molecules. In: Quality Assurance of

    Chemical Measurements by John K. Taylor (1987, p48).
