Overcoming Common Challenges in Waste and Surface Water Analysis

Introduction

Laboratories performing wastewater, surface water, and effluent testing contend with a multitude of demands:

• Analyzing a diverse range of contaminants, which mandates a variety of methods and techniques while managing a large volume of samples
• Balancing high throughputs, and low instrument downtime, with high sensitivity and reliable results

A "one size fits all" approach may not be the best solution for your laboratory. The correct analytical technique coupled with the proper sample preparation technique can streamline your wastewater analyses and ultimately improve your profitability, operating margins and efficiency. Examining these new advances and how they can bring significant return on investment (ROI) for modernizing your laboratory is discussed.
