Day 1: Monday, 10 February
Navigating Quality Grades Part 1: Inorganics and Solvents for Classical Analysis and Research
Join us for an insightful webinar focused on the critical process of selecting the right quality grade for inorganic reagents and solvents used both in analytical and research applications. We will provide an in-depth overview of various quality grades, including ACS grade and EMSURE®, and discuss their specific attributes, including purity, regulatory support, and packaging. Gain valuable insights into the importance of this choice and its impact on the quality of your lab processes and outcomes.
By attending this webinar, you will:
- Understand the significance of choosing the right quality grade for your lab applications
- Explore the available quality grades, including ACS grade and EMSURE®, and their specific attributes
- Recognize the impact of quality grade selection
- Learn best practices for selecting and utilizing the appropriate quality grade for several applications
Who should attend:
This webinar is designed for professionals involved in laboratory work who seek to enhance their understanding of quality grades for inorganic reagents and solvents. It is particularly relevant for lab technicians, researchers, and managers in analytical labs (like QC, environmental, etc.) method development and research laboratories that are looking to optimize their processes and outcomes.
Presenter: Christian Roth (Senior Product Manager Inorganics, Merck)
Presenter: Lyra Christianson (Product Manager Solvents, Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA, an affiliate of Merck)
Navigating Quality Grades Part 2: Solvents and Reagents for Chromatography Applications
This second part focuses on the critical process of selecting the right quality grades used in chromatography applications. We provide an in-depth overview of various quality grades, from Suprasolv® solvents for GC to LiChrosolv® solvents for HPLC, in combination with LiChropurTM reagents, and discuss their specific attributes, including purity, regulatory support, and packaging. The topic will be illustrated by typical HPLC and LC-MS applications.
