🔬 At trace levels, contamination is never a small issue.

At Mpact, reliable trace-metal analysis is essential to support compliance across paper and plastic food-contact packaging.
But when very low concentrations need to be measured, even the cleaning process becomes part of the analytical workflow.

By implementing our traceCLEAN unit, Mpact moved from manual acid cleaning to a controlled, automated process, achieving:

• around 90% lower acid consumption
• less hazardous chemical waste
• improved operator safety
• reduced risk of cross-contamination
• faster availability of clean laboratory components

A cleaner process means more than efficiency: it helps protect the reliability of every result.

Milestone around the world 🌍

This summer, our team has been traveling across the US and the Philippines, meeting customers, sharing expertise, and exploring new ways to improve sample preparation workflows. 🧪

🇺🇸 In the US, Luca joined Milestone Inc. for a demo tour across five Midwestern states, visiting laboratories and showcasing the versatility of ETHOS LEAN. From microwave digestion to protein hydrolysis, fatty acid derivatization, and other chromatography applications, the tour demonstrated how one flexible platform can adapt to different workflows while delivering reliable and reproducible results.

🇵🇭 In the Philippines, Stefano spent a busy week with our local partner Guill-Bern Corporation, combining installations, hands-on training, and seminars dedicated to advanced sample preparation. He also participated in the 2026 IMEKO Joint Conference, where he presented the versatility of ETHOS X for extraction applications including PFAS, microplastics, MOSH, and MOAH.

A big thank you to our partners Milestone Inc. and Guill-Bern Corporation for the excellent organization, collaboration, and support! 🤝
