Proactive environmental monitoring is central to safeguarding ecosystems and public health. As pollutant levels in soil and water rise, environmental testing labs must work to maintain regulatory compliance and improve efficiency and accuracy in contaminant analysis. Technologies like elemental analysis and solvent extraction are helpful in these efforts, enabling labs to isolate and quantify environmental pollutants.
Despite their importance, elemental analysis and solvent extraction present unique operational challenges. For elemental analysis, the variability of environmental samples, the need for low detection limits, and the complexity of sample preparation and instrument calibration can impact data quality. Similarly, solvent extraction requires optimal sample recovery and involves risks, such as thermal degradation and sample burning, as well as the need to protect operators from solvent exposure.
Fortunately, innovative elemental analysis and solvent extraction technologies are designed to address these needs. This white paper explores these developments and how they support labs in achieving reliable, reproducible results while enhancing safety and compliance. The resource also includes a maintenance and certification schedule for these instruments, helping lab managers plan and budget for upkeep and ensure ongoing reliability and regulatory alignment.
