FMS, Inc. introduces a high-speed, pressurized liquid extraction system designed to increase lab productivity by delivering high-quality recoveries and excellent precision for all analytes in minutes instead of hours.
Watertown, MA (January, 2012) – Fluid Management Systems, Inc. (FMS, Inc.) today announced the introduction of the PLE® System, an automated Pressurized Liquid Extraction system optimized for the rapid extraction of a variety of compounds from environmental, biological and food samples. It is a direct replacement for time consuming sohxlet extractions. Applications include a full range of EPA methods as well as testing for semi-volatile organic compounds in soils, foods, pharmaceutical and polymeric products.
After loading a solid, semi-solid or liquid sample into the PLE cartridge, all the analyst has to do is press a button to start the entire extraction, sample cleanup, and concentration process which is performed automatically and unattended. Excellent results and high recoveries are delivered in minutes. The optional SuperVap™ System concentrates sample extracts to the desired volume, accelerating the sample preparation process while reducing errors. The PLE system uses a modular design which allows the system to expand to keep pace with increased sample workloads. Up to six programmable stations allow multiple one-step sample extractions, in-cell cleanup with pre-packed end cap columns, and concentrations to be processed simultaneously.
