Ryan Haughey, TEA and DIA Applications Specialist, Thermo Fisher ScientificEuropean Water Framework Directive The EU Water Framework Directive commits all member states to achieve good qualitative and quantitative statuses for all water bodies, laying down strategies against water pollution through identification of priority substances and monitoring of different classes of contaminants.

In this interview, Ryan Haughey, Trace Elemental Analysis (TEA) and Discrete Industrial Analyzers (DIA) Applications Specialist at Thermo Fisher Scientific, describes the applications and the importance water analyses in the environmental, food, and beverage industries.

Working closely with Gallery™ users, Ryan provides application support and training, using feedback from users to learn how best to improve the analyzer’s capabilities and meet the growing demands in water analysis. Ryan explains how the Gallery™ Plus is designed for high throughput sample requirements in the water and food and beverage markets. While the system is commonly used for analysis of substances such as chloride, nitrate, nitrite and ammonia, Ryan highlights that there are “more than 60 applications with system reagents available for the Gallery”. Over the course of his work, Ryan has seen a general trend in demand for ever increasing throughput as laboratories “always want a higher throughput to get through more samples and, in turn, be more productive as a lab”.


The future of the Gallery will be higher throughput, faster throughput and lower detection capabilities
