How Much are you Paying for Ultra-pure Analytical Grade Acids?

Purify your own HF, HNO3 and HCl acids with the Milestone subCLEAN system is the smarter choice for your lab. Low cost, low grade acid is automatically loaded into the distillation container where it is gently heated below its boiling temperature using a sub-boiling technique. High purity acid vapours rapidly condense into a collection bottle by forced air cooling meaning that no chiller is required either.

Achieving the lowest possible detection limits with ICP-MS/OES by minimizing contamination and blanks

The analytical instrument is just one component in achieving the lowest limits of detection using plasma spectrochemistry. The other critical area that puts significant demands on a laboratory’s overall detection capability is to ensure that the sample preparation procedure does not contribute any additional sources of contamination.

Evaluation of recycle and reuse of nitric acid from sample digests by sub-boiling distillation

New paper publication titled "Evaluation of recycle and reuse of nitric acid from sample digests by sub-boiling distillation" has just been published on Microchemical Journal. In short, the article shows that acid digestion waste can be recycled (through a sub-boiling purification process) and reused, without compromising the quality of the analytical results, with clear benefits in costs and for the environmental health.

Milestone at AOAC annual meeting
Jul 18, 2024

Visit us at AOAC INTERNATIONAL annual meeting

The AOAC Annual Meeting & Exposition is where the global analytical science community comes together to learn latest advances in food safety science to meet current and emerging needs. Food testing for nutrients, heavy metals, and fats involves a series of steps that are often not fully optimized even in modern labs. Particularly during the sample preparation phase, these steps can be time-consuming, pose safety concerns for operators, limit productivity, and directly impact analysis costs. We will present how the Total Sample Prep Workflow approach addresses these challenges in both elemental analysis and fat determinations. Leading industry experts will share their experiences on how adopting these approaches has enhanced the routine and efficiency of their laboratories.
