Most labs today are facing increasing pressure to run more samples, on more techniques and methods, more efficiently, and to make results available quicker. The use of automation and integration offers the ability to rapidly prepare samples in a more consistent fashion for a variety of methods and procedures.

We will review how to effectively prepare and workup samples of powders, slurries, solutions, and viscous liquids on one single automation platform. The discussion will cover case studies, the accuracy that can be achieved in consistently preparing samples, and the improved throughput while maintaining required analytical accuracy.
