Customer Testimonial: ALS France
The Partner: ALS France
ALS is a global leader in providing laboratory testing, inspection, certification, and verification solutions. At their facility in Saint Quentin Fallavier, France, the environmental organics department handles a high volume of complex samples, requiring the highest standards of accuracy, efficiency, and reliability in their analytical processes.
The Challenge: Optimizing Sample Preparation
In high-throughput environmental laboratories, sample preparation is often the most time-consuming and labor-intensive step. To maintain their quick turnaround times and ensure the highest data quality for organic and LC (Liquid Chromatography) analysis, the laboratory needed a robust solution to automate their Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) workflow.
The Solution: Skalar SPE-03 Automated SPE System
To streamline their operations, ALS France integrated the Skalar SPE-03 automated extraction system into their organics laboratory.
The SPE-03 is perfectly designed for modern environmental labs, offering key features that instantly upgrade daily workflows:
True Walk-Away Automation: Fully automates conditioning, sample loading, washing, and elution steps.
Positive Pressure Technology: Ensures consistent flow rates across all channels, preventing blockages and ensuring excellent recovery rates even with challenging matrices.
Compact Footprint: Delivers powerful multi-channel processing (up to 8 samples in parallel) while taking up minimal bench space.
High Reproducibility: Eliminates human error and variation, guaranteeing consistent, standardized results for every batch.
A Successful Partnership
We are thrilled to see the SPE-03 supporting the critical work being done at ALS. A special thank you to Julien Paupier, Deputy Head of Organics / LC Manager, and the entire team at ALS France for their trust and collaboration during the installation process.
