Event Overview:

An analytical chemist faces a myriad of challenges including the need for increased throughput, dealing with increasingly complex samples, meeting ever more stringent analytical performance requirements, and improving the sustainability of their analyses. Automation and integration of sample preparation and analysis workflows can achieve all these goals, but making the transition from manual sample preparation and analysis to automated and scaled down approaches can be daunting. By investing some time in learning automation and integration of sample preparation and analysis, it can help achieve higher sample throughput, improve sensitivity and reproducibility, solve complex sample preparation problems, and reduce your environmental impact.

Key Learning Objectives:

• Understand which types of analysis can be automated
• Reduce the fear factors for adopting automation into your workflow
• Learn the vast number of automated sample preparation and instrumental analysis introduction systems available to you
• Learn how automation can help achieve higher sample throughput as well as improve sensitivity and reproducibility

Who Should Attend:

• Anyone who feels that automation ‘is not for me’
• Analytical chemists who believe that automation is a threat to their livelihood
• Anyone who is open minded to realizing the benefits of automation
• Those who wish to optimize the accuracy and reproducibility of their analysis
• Anyone who is bored with routine sample preparation

Speakers:

Dr Mark Perkins
Senior Applications Chemist
Element Lab Solutions (Cambridge)

Dr. Mark Perkins is a senior applications chemist at Element (formerly Anatune Ltd.), based in Cambridge, where he has worked for the last 8 years on developing SIFT-MS applications, with a particular focus on automation and high-throughput analysis. Prior to joining Anatune, Mark was employed by the Malaysian Rubber Board, based in Hertfordshire, as a senior analyst in their Materials Characterisation Unit, where he eventually became the Unit head. Mark holds a Ph.D. in electrochemistry from the University of Southampton.
