Optimize Your Analytical Methods with our HORIBA Expertise
In a scientific environment where precision, speed, and reproducibility of results are essential, having an optimized analytical method can make all the difference. However, developing or adapting a method tailored to a specific application can quickly become time-consuming and complex, even for experienced users.
It is precisely to meet this need that we offer our method development and optimization service. The goal: to support you in establishing a reliable, high-performance method tailored to your samples, constraints, and analytical objectives.
What are the benefits of using our Method development service?
Even with a strong theoretical understanding of an instrument and its software, certain applications require specific adjustments to achieve the best possible results. Every laboratory faces its own unique challenges: sample type, acquisition parameters, sample preparation, reproducibility, analysis time, and performance optimization.
Our service allows you to save time during your research and development phases, improve the quality and reliability of your measurements, optimize your instrument’s performance, implement a method tailored to your application, and benefit from the expertise of our HORIBA application specialists.
How does the support process work?
Analysis of Your Needs
It all starts with a discussion with our experts to understand your analytical challenges and objectives. We analyze several key factors, including the type of samples being studied, the expected results and any difficulties encountered, the time or performance constraints you face, and finally, your level of experience with the instrument.
This initial step is essential for defining a tailored strategy and identifying potential areas for optimization.
Development or optimization of the method
Once your needs have been identified, our specialists work with you to develop a customized method or improve an existing one.
Depending on your application, this may include:
• Optimizing instrument settings.
• Improving measurement conditions.
• Optimizing your sample preparation.
• Reducing analysis times.
• Improving repeatability and reproducibility.
• Creating a reference method based on our application expertise and application notes.
Our goal is to provide you with a practical solution that can be implemented directly in your laboratory.
Flexible support tailored to your needs
Because every laboratory operates differently, our service adapts to your organization. Sessions can be held at our HORIBA France Center of Excellence in Palaiseau or directly at your site to minimize disruption to your operations.
This flexibility allows you to quickly integrate optimizations into your daily processes and work directly with your own samples and instrument configurations.
Multi-disciplinary expertise
Our method development and optimization service is available for many of our HORIBA instruments, particularly in the fields of Raman spectroscopy, fluorescence, elemental analysis, particle size analysis, and materials characterization.
Our application experts have extensive hands-on experience and work daily on a wide range of analytical challenges, enabling them to provide concrete recommendations tailored to each specific situation.
A real time-saver for your teams
Developing a method in-house can require numerous trials and consume significant resources. By leveraging our expertise, you can significantly reduce the time spent on testing and fine-tuning.
This allows you to build skills more quickly, receive personalized support, gain directly applicable knowledge, and make better use of your HORIBA instrument’s capabilities.
Turn your ideas into tangible results
Our method development service goes beyond simple technical support. It is a collaborative process designed to help you achieve your analytical goals more quickly and efficiently.
Whether you want to optimize an existing method, develop a new application, or improve your laboratory’s overall performance, our teams are here to support you every step of the way.
