We show you the way: Guided Tours at analytica

Liquids are omnipresent in the laboratory, whether as solvents, in form of liquid samples or just for cleaning. Therefore the topic of proper liquid handling is an evergreen and will be presented at many stands at analytica. As part of our Guided Tour “Liquid Handling”, manufacturers will show the latest developments in the segment of pipettes, where ergonomics in particular become increasingly important. The companies will also present partially and fully automated solutions designed to improve the handling of liquids in the laboratory.

The most widely used separation technologies in the laboratory is still high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and gas chromatography (GC). Therefore the number of exhibitors in this segment is relatively high. The companies we chose for the Guided Tours not only show whole HPLC or GC systems, but also column packing materials or more specialized variations of liquid chromatography such as gel permeation chromatography, which is superior especially in the analysis of biomolecules.

Sample preparation still takes up a large part of the total time in many analyses. In addition, many of the techniques consist of numerous, manual steps and are correspondingly error-prone. For these reasons, there is potential for optimization in many areas of sample preparation, whether via automated processes or newly designed equipment. Learn on the Guided Tour Sample Preparation how, for example, such automation techniques can run.
