SPE-DEX 3000

The Spe-Dex 3000 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 Pacific O&G Disks disks, the Spe-Dex 3000 Extraction System delivers the accuracy and consistency-of-data laboratories need to comply with Method 1664A QC specifications. And at costs below traditional Freon 113 methods.

In high-throughput laboratories solvent use is cut by up to 90% when compared to traditional LLE (liquid-liquid extraction) methods. Sample run times are less than 30 minutes.

Unattended operation increases the overall productivity of your lab as personnel are freed up for other projects. The Spe-Dex 3000 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.

Design features of the Spe-Dex 3000 system:
	Bench-top operation frees up valuable hood space
	Reduced operator exposure to hazardous solvents
	Automated extraction eliminates variability between chemists' techniques
	Uses 47 mm and 90 mm disks
