CHROMATOGRAPHY
G
as chromatography is one of today’s most versatile and widely used analytical techniques. Laboratories worldwide rely on
gas chromatography to analyse volatile compounds in solids, liquids and other sample mixtures – and use these insights to define product quality and performance and potential presence of environmental and human health contaminants. Despite continue improvements in
laboratory automation and connectivity, analytical workflows can still be vulnerable to human error. Te simplification of laboratory operations through smart devices and technology is increasingly important to drive operations excellence and minimise margins of error. A new way of production sustained by digitalisation via smart and autonomous systems is precisely what the Industry 4.0 concept entices. Laboratory managers are trying to decipher how they can implement the smart strategies of Industry 4.0 in their labs to gain the advanced efficiency, productivity, controls and the data power it enables.
PerkinElmer recently released the GC 2400 platform, providing a solution to some of the challenges faced by lab managers and supporting the shift to even smarter and more connected labs. At the centre of the platform
development was an understanding of current trends and a strong focus on productivity for pharmaceutical, food, environmental and industrial analyses. Te simplification, automation and connectivity embedded in the Industry 4.0 concept were strongly factored into the platform.
SIMPLIFICATION AND AUTOMATION Simplification is one of the most widely discussed strategies as we move towards Industry 4.0 for manufacturing processes. As digital platforms become more sophisticated with increased integration of digital tools and systems, there is greater need for automated and simplified processes to improve efficiency. Platforms equipped with automation elements and software-driven workflows will be key to enable productivity and decrease downtime. With automated sampling capabilities, the GC 2400 platform reduces hands-on time minimising human error, and the pressure- balanced sampling technology delivers superior precision. Automation and simplification can also take the form of intuitive software to help
