Today, January 30th (Thursday) from 13:30 - Held [Registration Open!] "No More Confusion! How to Choose SPME and Best Practices" #FreeWebinar #ReduceSamplePreparationEffort

Even though we refer to it as SPME, have you ever been confused about "which type to choose?" due to the existence of various extraction phases?

"Solvent-free solid-phase microextraction (SPME)" is a technique that reduces the labor of sample preparation compared to traditional liquid-liquid extraction and headspace methods, achieving high sensitivity and reproducibility in analytical results. Even though SPME is a single term, have you ever been confused about "which type to choose?" due to the various extraction phases available? In this seminar hosted by Restek, we will explain the selection of SPME and practical optimization methods in an easy-to-understand manner, even for beginners, using specific examples. Let's acquire the fundamental knowledge for choosing SPME without confusion and establish efficient analytical methods! <Recommended for the following individuals> * Those who want to learn about the basics and techniques of SPME * Those who find it difficult to select the appropriate liquid phase for their applications * Those who want to try new SPME options like Smart or Arrow * Those interested in practicing efficient optimization processes 【Event Overview】 ■ Date and Time: January 30, 2025 (Thursday) 13:30–14:15 For more details and registration, please visit: https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/3002694131704463193

When we look around us, we see various areas such as housing, home appliances, automobiles, miscellaneous goods, and sports equipment filled with many plastic materials like synthetic fibers, films, bottles, and resin products. However, the concept of modern polymer materials, specifically the idea of polymers (macromolecules) connected by covalent bonds, was not established just 100 years ago. Therefore, it can be said that in less than a century, numerous plastic materials with various characteristics have been developed and rapidly integrated into our lives. Due to the short history and the diversity of materials, there are various challenges encountered when dealing with plastic materials, and the role of analytical technicians in solving these issues is significant. In this course, we will explain important and fundamental points over two sessions, focusing on the field of resin materials, not only for analytical technicians but also for engineers who create products using plastic materials and those who use plastic products to deepen their understanding. In the first session, which serves as a foundational overview, we will discuss the characteristics of representative plastic materials, including molecular structure and physical properties, characteristics and applications, and manufacturing methods, to aid in the understanding of plastic materials.

When we look around us, we see that various areas such as housing, home appliances, automobiles, miscellaneous goods, and sports equipment are overflowing with many plastic materials like synthetic fibers, films, bottles, and resin products. However, 100 years ago, the concept of modern polymer materials, specifically the idea of polymers (macromolecules) connected by covalent bonds, had not yet been established. Therefore, it can be said that in just under a century, numerous plastic materials with various characteristics have been developed and rapidly integrated into our lives. Due to the short history and the diversity of materials, there are various challenges encountered when handling plastic materials, but the role of analytical technicians in solving these issues is significant. Following the previous foundational edition, this second application edition will explain polymer multiphase materials (such as polymer alloys, compounds, and resin composites) and molding techniques, as well as environmental issues surrounding plastic materials, in order to enhance the practical value of plastic materials.
