Keeping your instrument at peak performance levels is the best way to prevent loss of productivity due to unscheduled downtime. Proactive replacement of certain instrument components, tailoring instrument service to meet your specific lab’s needs and upgrading your instruments with the latest technology is the best way to cost-effectively manage your laboratory’s assets. Waters offers flexible service plans to help with the challenges of costly unplanned downtime.

The Evolution of Consumables Usage Tracking through SMART Technology

Wednesday, October 27, 2021 at 10am EDT | 9am CDT | 3pm BST | 4pm CEST Laboratory data must be secured and available to support product quality decisions, both at the time of the decision-making and for the full duration of the mandated retention period. It is imperative to have durable data. Durable data includes backup and restore, disaster recovery and business continuity planning, archiving, system administration, and cybersecurity.

Lab scientists are constantly faced with challenges caused by aging technology including longer run times, expensive repairs and less sensitivity of their samples. As instruments approach end of life, accessing trained professionals to repair older technology also becomes more difficult and costly. In this podcast, Heather Rennie, Senior Manager, Global Services, from Waters Corporation will discuss the benefits of protecting instrumentation by including a service coverage support package at the time of purchase.

This brief demonstrates the extraction and analysis of PFAS compounds in water following EPA method 537.1, using PS2 solid-phase extraction and LC–MS/MS.

Workflows for non-targeted analyses for PFAS in wastewater and soil samples are demonstrated using a Xevo G2-XS QTof coupled with an ACQUITY UPLC.

Read a case study about how an environmental laboratory meets the challenges of increased sample throughput, trace detection, and complex matrices for PFAS testing.
