Thermo Scientific TargetQuan 3 software is uniquely tailored for a workflow orientated POPs quantification. This software package is designed specifically to serve laboratories charged with performing routine quantification of POPs in a regulated environment. With TargetQuan 3, comprehensive processing of MS, MS/MS and HRMS data is possible on a single software platform for the seamless quantification of:

• Dioxins and furans
• Polychorinated biphenyls
• Brominated flame retardants
• Polybrominated diphenyl ethers
• Polychlorinated napthalenes
• Other target compounds requiring isotope dilution techniques

A Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) is the foundation for delivering accurate, consistent, and traceable results—using standardized processes that meet regulatory guidelines, ensure public safety, and monitor quality throughout the entire sampling, testing, and reporting process.

• Reduce transcription errors
• Allow better utilization of staff
• Reduce the amount of time spent keying in data
• Permit user defined calculations and results
• Improve turnaround time
• Provide a clear picture of the status of a user's samples
• Allow for rapid extraction of large datasets, for statistical or other analysis
• Avoid mix-ups with samples and/or results
• Respond to problems in a timely manner

To reinforce our commitment, we have established a POPs Center of Excellence; staffed with experts in POPs analysis, to be used as a direct resource for our customers and associates.
