Analytical Solutions Seminar Scheduled for Honolulu
Laboratories seeking to reduce instrument downtime and eliminate sample reruns can attend the upcoming Analytical Solutions Seminar at the AC Hotel Honolulu, located at 1111 Bishop St., Honolulu, HI 96813. LabRulez reported that the practical, education-led, in-person seminar focuses on helping industrial and environmental facilities achieve more reliable analytical results and streamline everyday processes through application-focused discussions, troubleshooting, and hands-on discovery.
Attendees can explore a Technology Showcase featuring sample preparation equipment, automation tools, consumables, accessories, and complementary analytical technologies. Participating partners include Thermo Fisher Scientific, CEM, Elemental Scientific, Teledyne CETAC, and Fisher Scientific.
Seminar Agenda and Technical Topics
The seminar agenda covers specific technical workflows, including best practices, tips, and tricks for optimized inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICP-OES) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) spanning from sample preparation to final analysis and troubleshooting. Sessions also address how to accelerate ICP-OES and ICP-MS analysis using sample automation technologies to yield more reliable results.
Additional technical modules focus on practical ion chromatography (IC) tips for daily operation, troubleshooting, and maintenance covering pumps, injectors, columns, suppressors, and the overall IC system. A dedicated session on the Thermo Scientific Chromeleon Chromatography Data System demonstrates practical ways to streamline data processing and reporting. This includes live demonstrations of custom views, database queries, report optimization, reduced manual integration, system-blank controls, and keyboard shortcuts. Furthermore, the program covers broader screening and characterization using the Thermo Scientific Orbitrap GC-MS beyond targeted per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), alongside out-of-the-box solutions for targeted PFAS analysis in environmental and food samples.
Target Audience and Registration Details
The event is designed for scientists, analysts, chemists, lab managers, quality assurance and quality control professionals, and method-development teams working across industrial and environmental laboratories. Participants can register for the seminar online at the LabRulez event page.
