Product Description
Automated Solid Phase Extraction for PFAS in Drinking Water
The EconoTrace® Parallel Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) System is a fully automated, modular solution designed to enhance laboratory productivity by streamlining PFAS/PFOS extraction from drinking water. Capable of processing up to 8 samples simultaneously, this system integrates extraction, drying, and concentration into a single step, reducing manual intervention, human error, and contamination risks.
Designed as an economical and scalable platform, the EconoTrace system automates traditional manual SPE techniques and replaces outdated liquid-liquid extraction and semi-automated instruments, significantly improving workflow efficiency, consistency, and regulatory compliance.
Simply load samples onto the system and start the automated process. The system loads samples at a controlled flow rate onto an SPE cartridge, applies nitrogen drying, and then elutes analytes directly into the SuperVap Concentrator, where the extract is concentrated to its final volume in a 15 mL centrifuge tube—ready for analysis.
By integrating multiple sample preparation steps into one automated process, the EconoTrace minimizes solvent use, eliminates glassware, and maximizes throughput, ensuring the highest quality results in the shortest possible time.
