Automated Sample Prep
As an innovation driver, LCTech sets the qualitative and functional standard in the automation of important phases of sample preparation, making laboratory work easier, safer and more economical.
For Persistent Difficulties
Contamination of Food and Feed
Approximately 25% of global food production is destroyed due to mycotoxin contamination. The analytical detection of toxins in food and feed is therefore of great importance for the health of the world's population and for economic efficiency.
For Experts
PCDD/F, PCB, PBDE, PCN & CP
LCTech offers solutions for the entire dioxin sample preparation process. From extraction to analysis with robust, high-quality equipment, columns as well as continuous support from LCTech experts.
For Current Challenges
PFAS in Environmental Samples
With the latest development of highly efficient SPE columns and state-of-the-art equipment, LCTech optimally supports sample preparation at every stage of the complete PFAS workflow.
WHAT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW
News
Advanced Automation Technologies (AAT), a global leader in laboratory automation backed by Battery Ventures, has agreed to acquire GERSTEL GmbH & Co. KG, a German company specializing in automated solutions for gas and liquid chromatography. GERSTEL’s innovative systems enhance precision and efficiency in industries like environmental testing, food and beverage, forensics, and fragrance.
This acquisition strengthens AAT’s portfolio, adding GERSTEL to its lineup of brands, including Skalar Analytical, EST Analytical, LCTech, PromoChrom Technologies, and tsHR. GERSTEL’s established presence in Europe, North America, and Asia will expand AAT’s regional capabilities.

What can LCTech do for you?
The wide product range makes sample preparation in the field of water analysis immensely easier: from automated systems to manual devices and columns, everything from a single source.
Read MoreBoth food and feed manufacturers as well as laboratories with low analysis numbers or high throughput, will find unique automation concepts for cost-effective analysis at LCTech.
Read moreLaboratories are commissioned to examine samples of air, water and soil for pollutants or contaminants. It is crucial to always be up to date with the latest national and international regulations. LCTech ensures this with constant improvements and adjustments.
Read moreLCTech offers product solutions for the extraction, clean-up and concentration of these chemicals in the field of sample preparation from food, environmental samples and all types of water.
Read moreEven the smallest concentrations of these substance classes can cause severe toxic effects, which makes highly developed analysis and sample preparation necessary. LCTech offers unique technical solutions for this.
Read moreEspecially in the context of the revised DFG S19 (L 00.00-34) and other analytical methods, such as the AOAC methods 984.21, EN 12393 and EN 1528, LCTech offers with the FREESTYLE system a comprehensive product range that provides the right level of automation for every user.

Latest Publications from LCTech
Application note ''Extraction, Clean-Up and Analysis of 209 PCBs using DEXTech Systems'' available
This AppNote demonstrates the extraction, evaporation, clean-up and analysis of all 209 PCBs and PCDD/F from different matrices like fish oil and soil. Thereby utilizing the X-TRACTION® system, the D-EVA system and the automated clean-up systems DEXTech Heat or Pure. This automated approach offers a comprehensive solution for both contaminants, production efficiency and reducing costs in laboratory settings.
Application note "Extraction of PFAS from Soil Using EluCLEAN® PFAS SPE Columns"
This AppNote shows a new single SPE cartridge solution with a polymeric sorbent optimized for PFAS enrichment. The EluCLEAN® PFAS - WAX/GCB SPE column can equivalently replace the dispersing clean-up step and the WAX SPE cartridge used in US EPA 1633 (4th draft). This innovative method saves valuable time and costs.
Aflatoxin analysis of almond and sesame products
Almonds and sesame seeds are very often contaminated with aflatoxins. If they exceed the legal limits, they are withdrawn from the market or not permitted for trading. The AflaCLEAN columns provide an extremely qualitative, robust and sensitive tool for mycotoxin clean-up of foodstuff.
