e-Chronicle – January 2026
Your Chromatography Update – Sample Preparation
In this month's e-Chronicle Newsletter, we've featured a variety of Sample Preparation-related topics,
including new products, green initiatives, instrumentation, technical resources, and more!
CSI is now using the 12 point SIGNIFICANCE mnemonic to assess greener analytical chemistry technology.
NEW PRODUCT
CHROMSPEC™ TestPlus Syringe Filters
CHROMSPEC™ TestPlus syringe filters are a great choice for HPLC/GC sample preparation, clarification of buffers and chemical reagents, media additives, drugs, and even gases.
- Superior flow rate handles challenging samples.
- Low extractable levels for sensitive analyses.
- Various membrane materials and filtration area to suit all methods.
FEATURED PRODUCTS

- Speed: 100 Vials in 8 minutes.
Sample Concentration for Every Application
Automatic Parallel Concentrators
- Widely used for the preparation of environmental samples, natural products,
food and agricultural product samples, and heat-sensitive products. - Achieves high-throughput automatic evaporation of liquid samples through
vacuum, heating, and rotation. - Improves work efficiency and sample recovery, reduces human errors, and
enhances the accuracy of analysis.
Green Chemistry
enerate as little waste as possible and treat it properly through solvent recovery.
ncrease safety for operator – Through sealed evaporation system.
Need a Faster, More Reliable Approach to Handling Your Sample Prep?
A compact mixer and vortexer in one! Ideal for QuEChERS and other extraction techniques needing vortexing of many samples simultaneously.
- Easy to program touchscreen.
- Precise speed and duration control.
- Use the digital presets for quick vortexing or customize for precise mixing.
Green Chemistry
ncreasing safety for operator – Program mode and tube racks reduce exposure to spills and repetitive strain injuries.
