We are very pleased that as a small company (now in its seventh year a start-up), we were able to research, publish, train and help partners (in their and in our laboratory) in 2024 in particular on our core topic ‘Mass Spectrometric Non-Target Screening (NTS)’, but also on instrumental analytics with polarity-extended chromatography and mass spectrometry. After 2022 – with its adverse external circumstances for our laboratory – the number of requests that can be processed increased continuously again in 2023 and reached a current maximum in 2024 with over 3000 NTS measurements in our Augsburg laboratory. Some research initiatives were successfully completed in 2024, while we were able to support others with NTS during ongoing operations and launched three new ones. In 2024, new topics could be developed, so that new research projects in the NTS can also be expected in 2025. But consulting activities have also become established in 2024, so laboratories in the field of food analysis, leachables & extractables analysis, environmental analysis and chemical process analysis were able to support NTS, e.g. in the industrial and commercial analytical environment as well as in the official sector. So we were once again granted the privilege of working on many interesting samples, answering analytical questions and opening up new topics for the future.
