Mitigation strategies, such as reduced-volume extraction or alternative solvents, often introduce efficiency losses that must be compensated for elsewhere in the workflow. This webinar highlights how innovative GC column technology, paired with high-quality reference standards and optimized GC-MS\/MS methods, can restore and exceed required sensitivity. Additionally, approaches for high-throughput, fast analysis will be discussed to help laboratories maintain performance and productivity under evolving regulatory constraints.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key Learning Objectives:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Learn about the impact of the methylene chloride ban on EPA 8270 semivolatile methods.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn about alternative extraction strategies and mitigations to achieve sensitivity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn about GC column and GC-MS\/MS optimizations to maintain or improve sensitivity and throughput.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Learn about how high-quality reference standards are critical for accurate and effective semivolatile analysis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Should Attend?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Environmental managers seeking strategies to mitigate the impact of the methylene chloride ban<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bench chemists aiming to optimize semivolatile methods for improved sensitivity and throughput<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Procurement personnel focused on reducing cost per analysis while maintaining performance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>GC users looking to enhance method performance and analytical efficiency<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/globalmeet.webcasts.com\/starthere.jsp?ei=1766442&amp;tp_key=6381e0e721&amp;sti=restek\" style=\"color:#00265d;background-color:#f49c10\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>REGISTER NOW<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The recent ban on methylene chloride has introduced significant challenges for EPA methods.
