Welcome to LCTech
From Experts
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.

The MWAS of this year was again a great succes! It was a wonderful experience to connect with many familiar and new faces in person.
This seminar focused on innovations in water analysis, including: Sampling & sample preparation, Chromatography & mass spectrometry, Trace substances (PFAS/PMT), Green analytical chemistry, Data processing and analysis.
Our LCTech specialists welcomed our visitors and shared insights on the latest advancements.
We are excited to participate in many more seminars and making new connections.
This year the 45th Mycotoxin Workshop will take place from 2 - 5 June 2024 in Vienna (A).
There you will have the opportunity to listen to presentations by experts in mycotoxin research on the genetics of toxigenic fungi and their occurrence in food and feed.
You can also take part in discussions on biomarkers, toxicology and risk assessment. In addition, posters on various topics will be presented. LCTech mycotoxin expert Dr Frederik Wuppermann will also be present with his poster "SMART Matrix Removal for Multi-Mycotoxin Analysis Using CRossTOX® Columns".

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.
