Turn-key solutions for testing of water
and soil.
Thermo Electron has developed new turnkey solutions in order to help environmental laboratories, government agencies and water suppliers comply with the requirements of European norm ISO 9377-2
Recent legislation in many European countries and in the United States has made the determination of the content of mineral oils and petroleum products in water and soil a compulsory requirement for quality certifications Recognizing the need for stricter environmental analyses, Thermo Electron Corporation has developed new turnkey solutions in order to help environmental laboratories, government agencies and water suppliers comply with the requirements of European norm ISO 9377-2

Culture media complies with microbial limit tests
Oxoid and Remel introduce complete portfolio of culture media for the microbiological examination of non-sterile pharmaceutical products.
Historically, spectroscopic analytical techniques have been used for carrying out water and soil quality tests, which employ highly toxic chemicals.
Thermo GC-FID turnkey solutions, featuring no limitations in the solvent selection, are ideal alternative analytical methods, especially in territories where chemical use is highly regulated.
The solutions also comply with international norms for total petroleum hydrocarbon applications.
These solutions cover the range C10-C40 in both the water and soil matrices in a user-friendly and reliable way.
Three complete packages are available from Thermo Electron that provide an effective response to different analytical requirements: * Thermo's Standard solution is a cost-effective option based on the conventional GC method.
* Thermo's Sensitive (LVSL) solution delivers the lowest quantification limit below 0.5 ng/µL of total hydrocarbons.
* Thermo's Ultra Fast solution boosts productivity to unforeseen levels with up to 100 samples processed in a single day.
A newly developed application note describing a method for the analysis of water and soils by GC offers further insight into the advantages of using such solutions.
The note shows how the Thermo Finnigan Trace GC Ultra can perform accurate environmental analysis very rapidly, while adhering to the strict guidelines.
The application can easily be modified to accommodate differing analytical requirements which utilize the various packages offered.
