Eurofins – The Future Lab:
Fully automated sample preparation by means of a robot
In its Competence Centre for Residues and Contaminants, the Eurofins laboratory network for Food and Feed Testing in Germany operates a fully automated sample preparation robot – a milestone in the effort to always deliver fast, high-quality results and also to flexibly provide additional analytical capacity when needed. From initial weighing to ready-to-measure extracts, the robot masters a variety of sample preparation techniques such as modified QuEChERS extractions or simple solid phase extractions. Depending on the method, up to 400 samples per day can be processed. Read more about our fully automated sample preparation robot in our poster „The future lab – A fully automated food/feed sample preparation system“.
In routine use, the robot is used for sample preparation of various mycotoxins and plant toxins as well as veterinary drug residues. The automation of further methods for mycotoxins, plant toxins, veterinary drug residues and process contaminants is planned.
Further automation solutions are currently being implemented by us or planned.
