FMS Inc
Company Description
Founded in 1985, Fluid Management Systems, Inc. designs, manufactures, and supports analytical instruments used by scientists to perform extraction, cleanup, fractionation, and concentration of samples prior to chemical analysis. Some of the industries that rely on our sample preparation systems are: agricultural, chemical, clinical, coatings, cosmetics, energy, environmental, flavors, food, life science, pharmaceutical, petrochemical, tobacco, toxicology, and utilities. Automated sample preparation systems from FMS are designed to replace outdated, labor-intensive techniques that hinder laboratory productivity. Our Total Sample Preparation systems improve the efficiency of both laboratory personnel and expensive instrumentation. Our automated sample preparation systems allow laboratory personnel to reduce costs, shorten sample turn around time, and improve the quality and consistency of their results by eliminating the variability inherent with manual sample preparation methods. All FMS consumables are guaranteed and manufactured in Class 10,000 and Class 1000 cleanroom environments and both our instruments and consumables are proudly made in the US. We support our sample preparation systems with an ever-increasing network of field sales, service, and applications expertise. FMS systems are sold worldwide by a direct sales force, independent representatives, and distributors. After 25 years in business, FMS has established itself as the world leader in providing automated sample preparation systems in the field of persistent organic pollutants (POPs) analysis.

Understanding FDA Recommendations for N-Nitrosamine Impurity Levels
April 17th 2025We spoke with Josh Hoerner, general manager of Purisys, which specializes in a small volume custom synthesis and specialized controlled substance manufacturing, to gain his perspective on FDA’s recommendations for acceptable intake limits for N-nitrosamine impurities.
University of Rouen-Normandy Scientists Explore Eco-Friendly Sampling Approach for GC-HRMS
April 17th 2025Root exudates—substances secreted by living plant roots—are challenging to sample, as they are typically extracted using artificial devices and can vary widely in both quantity and composition across plant species.
Determining the Serum Proteomic Profile in Migraine Patients with LC–MS
April 17th 2025Researchers used liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) in their proteomic analysis to compare the serum proteome of migraine patients with healthy controls and to identify differentially expressed proteins as potential migraine biomarkers.
