Applications & Workflows

Avantor products are selected as much for reproducibility as for breadth. The examples below connect typical analytical and life-science tasks with the categories you’ll use to stabilize results, simplify procurement, and keep documentation aligned with your site’s compliance requirements.

Analytical Chemistry & Chromatography
From method development through long-run QC, combine ACE/Hichrom HPLC or GC columns with guard cartridges and SPE clean-up to handle complex matrices. J.T.Baker® LC/GC-grade solvents help maintain backpressure, plate count, and baseline stability for regulated assays.

Life Science Research & Routine Labs
VWR consumables support daily work—culture handling, sample prep, and storage—while keeping lot-to-lot variability low. Pair common plastics and glassware with validated chemicals from MFC or J.T.Baker® to keep upstream prep consistent with downstream analytical steps.

Pharma/Bioprocess QC & Stability
For GMP-aligned environments, specify J.T.Baker® ultra-pure solvents with ACE columns and method validation kits. Guard setups and recommended test mixes help verify performance at release and during ongoing monitoring, minimizing downtime and requalification effort.
