SPE-03

Automated SPE System

The SPE-03 System has been developed to provide a fully automated and standardized solution for solid phase extraction in a wide range of sample matrices.

Reliable automation for routine solid phase extraction across diverse applications

SPE-03 system is designed to support a wide range of analytical applications, offering flexibility and reliability for diverse testing needs. The SPE-03 is a powerful and efficient automated solid phase extraction system capable of processing up to 8 samples at a time. It can be used for large and small volume water, food, soil, fuel, protein and forensics sample extraction and clean up.

Like all our systems, it utilizes positive pressure to deliver fluids at fixed flow rates and prevent build up in your SPE cartridges. All samples start and finish at the same time. No.1 choice for PFAS, supporting more than 200 PFAS labs wordwide.

SPE-03

SPE-03 is a compact and modular solid phase extraction system with integrated 3-position manifold for unattended processing of a wide range of liquid samples.

Product Details

Our flow path integration technique gives the SPE-03 a very small footprint and can easily fit in any fume hood. Special features include bottle rinsing, separate waste outlets and nitrogen drying.

This fully automated SPE system is the top choice for PFAS following EPA Methods 533/537/1633, DoD QSM 5.3 Table B-15, ISO 21675 and various proprietary methods. Other applications include 1-4 Dioxane, pesticides, PCBs, PAHs, mycotoxins and more.

High-Capacity Inline Filter

A high-capacity inline filter designed to remove both fine and large particulates. Suitable for processing up to 1 L of drinking water, surface water, or wastewater. Tested and verified to be PFAS-free.

Anti-clogging Tips

The Anti-Clogging Tips are your frontline defense against clogs caused by large particulates or floating materials. Designed to maintain clear pathways, they serve as the primary solution to prevent line and filter blockages. The anti-clogging tips address the complexities of challenging sample matrices, ensuring seamless extraction by effectively averting clogs while preserving excellent recoveries.

Mini disks spe 03

Mini-Disks

To capture the advantages of SPE disk in extraction speed and overcome its disadvantages in solvent consumption and automation, PromoChrom developed a suite of Mini-disks. The Mini-disks come in a format size similar to a 30-mm syringe filter and a cross-section area 5 times of a 6-mL SPE cartridge. The increased cross section area and optimized sorbent properties enables the Mini-disks to work with much higher flow rates than SPE cartridges, whereas a smaller size than conventional disks make the Mini-disks easily adaptable to cartridge type SPE instruments and consume less solvents.
