An application brief helps us understand your measurement requirements and recommend a suitable configuration. A short summary is enough to get started.

What to include

  1. Sample matrix. What the sample is, and how it is prepared.
  2. Target parameters. The components or properties you must report.
  3. Concentration range. Typical and extreme values, plus the reporting limit.
  4. Method. The reference standard, if one applies, and its version.
  5. Throughput. Throughput. Number of samples per day or batch, and the required turnaround time.
  6. Environment. Bench space, utilities, ventilation and operator skill level.
  7. Records. What must be stored, exported or signed off.

What needs to be confirmed

Suitability for your matrix, validated results and regulatory compliance are confirmed by your laboratory. We use the brief to propose a configuration and the documents that apply — not to replace your validation.

Let’s talk about your application

Need the document for a specific configuration?

Please provide the model and intended configuration. For an instrument already in use, include its serial number so we can confirm the correct document revision.
