The 7th Mülheim Water Analysis Seminar 2026 focuses on current developments in modern water and environmental analysis.
The program of this well-attended conference highlights:
- sampling and sample preparation
- chromatography and mass spectrometry
- trace compounds (PFAS / PMT)
- relevant and non-relevant metabolites of plant protection products
- data processing and data analysis
- new technologies and Green Analytical Chemistry
- molecular biological methods in water analysis
Unsere Highlights vor Ort
We will present innovative solutions for water and environmental analysis – from automated sample preparation to GC- & LC-MS analysis. In particular, we will showcase our new Twister phases and the AutoTwister.
New Twister Phases
The new Twister phases expand the analytical scope of sorptive extraction. With four new sorbent phases, the expanded Twister portfolio covers a significantly broader polarity range and enables targeted adaptation to a wide variety of analyte profiles and sample matrices.
In addition to the proven PDMS phase, new phase combinations such as:
- PDMS/DVB
- PDMS/HLB
- PDMS/CWR
- PDMS/DVB/CWR
further extend the portfolio. A modified Twister design with an additional outer coating also provides enhanced selectivity.
In combination with the AutoTwister, the new phases support flexible, automated, and reproducible SBSE workflows for demanding analytical applications
AutoTwister
The AutoTwister automates the entire SBSE workflow – from extraction to TD-GC-MS analysis. Manual and repetitive workflow steps are reduced while supporting more sustainable analytical processes through lower solvent consumption in the laboratory.
In combination with the GERSTEL MultiPurpose Sampler (MPS), extraction, washing, drying, and thermal desorption are performed fully automatically. The AutoTwister combines the high degree of automation of SPME with the efficiency of the GERSTEL Twister® and fulfills the requirements of a wide range of analytical applications, including:
- Analysis of common beverages such as tea, beer, spirits, and milk
- EU Water Framework Directive
- Method according to DIN 27108
Velaris
Together with LCTech and TRACE, we will present complementary solutions for modern water and environmental analysis.
LCTech will showcase automated solutions for sample preparation – including PFAS, pesticide, and PAH analysis. Additionally, learn more about the wide range of high-quality SPE cartridges for demanding analytical applications.
TRACE will present solutions for elemental combustion analysis in water samples – particularly for nitrogen (N), organic carbon (OC), and organic chlorine (Cl). The analytical systems support water quality assessment, environmental monitoring, and regulatory compliance by providing essential data for sustainable water management and pollution control.
