SPE-DEX®
3000XL "Oil & Grease Machine"
The
SPE-DEX® 3000XL Extractor automates
EPA Method 1664A, and provides an
alternative to expensive, labor-intensive
LLE methods for extracting oil and
grease from aqueous samples.
 Using
a combination of advanced liquid
handling and 'Certified for Automation'
Pacific
O&G SPE Disks, the SPE-DEX®
3000XL Extraction System delivers
the accuracy and consistency of
data laboratories need to comply
with Method 1664A QC specifications.
Using SPE, in high-throughput laboratories
solvent use is reduced by up
to 90% when compared to traditional
LLE, and sample run times can be
less than 30 minutes.
The SPE-DEX® 3000XL is a three-station
system,
and is automated allowing unattended
operation which increases the overall
productivity of your lab, as technicians
are freed up for other projects.
The SPE-DEX® 3000XL system processes
samples directly from the original
sample bottle. It automatically
delivers all solvents, regulates
sample processing and disk drying
times, rinses the sample bottle
and collects the extract.
SPE
methods offer significant advantages
over traditional LLE techniques:
-
SPE uses less solvent than LLE.
- NO
shaking is required, and NO emulsions
form.
- SPE
is faster; only 20-30 min for
a 1-liter sample.
- SPE
provides comparable / better recoveries
than LLE.
- EPA
Methods are constantly being developed
for SPE.
Some
of the design features of the SPE-DEX
3000XL system include:
-
Bench-top operation, which frees
up valuable hood space.
- Reduced
operator exposure to hazardous
solvents.
- Automated
extraction eliminates variability
between chemists' techniques.
-
Can
use 47
mm and 90 mm SPE disks
- Can
be used with the Solvent
Trap™ Recovery System
which captures up to 70%
of the n-hexane solvent vapor
from EPA Method 1664A oil & grease
extractions.
- Can
be used with the Speed-Vap™
III Solvent Evaporation System,
which provides
safe and fast evaporation of n-hexane
solvent for oil and grease extractions.
