The dioxin family consists of 210 compounds, of which 17 contain the 2,3,7,8 pattern of chlorination. These 2,3,7,8-containing compounds are of extreme concern to human health because of their high level of toxicity. Approximately, 12 of the 209 polychlorinated biphenyls have also been identified as human toxins. For this reason, the US FDA and EU have established strict regulations for the monitoring of food products for human consumption, in particular edible oils. Manual extractions of oils can be a time-consuming procedure often delaying lab turnaround times. By automating the process with the PowerPrep®, food oil samples can be reliably processed with routine 24 h turnaround times.

If you do Gas Chromatography, then you will have undoubtedly conditioned a capillary GC column ready for use after a period of storage or before first use.

I have had enough conversations with experts in the field of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) stationary-phase supports to know that there is more to the increased efficiency provided by the use of superficially porous particles (SPP) compared to fully porous particles (FPP) than simply mass transfer effects. Yet, I would argue that this is still one of the biggest misconceptions propagated by some members of the chromatography community.
