Stability studies evaluate how pharmaceuticals, environmental small molecules, and metal‑ion solutions behave under stresses like elevated temperature, freezing, and light exposure. This guide systematically examines mechanisms such as oxidation, hydrolysis, isomerization, ice‑crystal exclusion, and photodegradation, and reviews measurement techniques—including DSC, UV‑Vis, DLS, and HPLC‑MS—providing a robust framework for designing accelerated testing protocols across key environmental stressors.

Syringe filters are essential consumables in organic-phase HPLC sample preparation, protecting columns and detectors from particulates and contamination. This guide compares the characteristics of PTFE, Nylon, PVDF, and PC membrane filters—discussing solvent compatibility, flow rates, protein binding, extractables and best use cases—to help labs select the most suitable membrane for reliable and reproducible analysis workflows.

In ultra‑trace analytical workflows, adsorption loss on vial surfaces—due to silanol sites and metal impurities—can significantly impair quantitation. This guide explains the mechanisms of adsorption, compares deactivation, silanization, PEG, and PFDCS coating methods, and highlights performance data—including recovery >90–99% for polar analytes in treated vials—helping labs choose optimal vial surface treatments for enhanced accuracy and reproducibility.

This article reviews the usage of EPA-certified 8–60 mL VOA sample vials made of high-grade Type I borosilicate glass for volatile organic compound (VOC) sampling in environmental analysis. Topics include standardized field collection protocols (such as Method 5035), proper sample preservation, transport and storage procedures, container material effects on sample stability, and regulatory compliance—all intended to ensure traceable, contamination-resistant workflows for reliable environmental monitoring.

This paper illustrates a typical GC‑HS sample vial carousel and details a multi-step cleaning and desorption-preconditioning protocol for high-borosilicate headspace vials. It further analyzes disposable vs. reusable vial models in terms of cost, contamination risk, and operational efficiency, assisting labs in designing an environmentally friendly, reliable, and efficient SOP for sample preparation.

Choosing the right sample vial in chromatographic workflows directly affects data accuracy and reproducibility. This article explores the key differences between HPLC and GC vials—covering application scenarios, material/design features, sealing methods, and instrument compatibility. It also provides purchasing tips and FAQ to help lab analysts, pharmaceutical R&D teams, and third-party testing labs make informed decisions and boost efficiency.

This comprehensive article explains why TOC Organic (total organic carbon) is a vital water quality parameter for labs and treatment plants. We compare TOC to COD, BOD and DOC, review TOC analysis methods (combustion, UV/persulfate, etc.) with a decision table, and highlight TOC’s applications in environmental, pharmaceutical and industrial settings. We cover sampling best practices, the latest innovations (IoT-connected analyzers, portable sensors, AI data tools) and future trends, ending with a practical call-to-action for water labs and plants.
