Product news

Horizon Technology’s SPE-DEX® 4790 automated extraction system performs all solid phase extraction steps for aqueous samples directly from their original containers. This bench top system designed for optimal chemistry and limited user involvement features an efficient fluid path and few moving parts.

Modularity allows for one to as many as eight extractors to be linked and controlled simultaneously or as independent modules maximizing method flexibility. SPE-DEX® is perfectly suited to handle 40 mL up to 20 L samples easily accommodating SPE disks or cartridges. All steps in the extraction process including preconditioning, water sample filtration, air drying, and final extraction of the sorbed analytes are sequentially executed in an unattended manner. Numerous pre-written software methods are available providing consistent recoveries, while reducing solvent consumption by as much as 90%. The SPE-DEX 4790 replaces labor intensive liquid-liquid extractions, is compatible with sediment laden water samples and prevents the formation of emulsions. The system is available now for use in your environmental lab.

Environmental Monitoring and TestingEnvironmental monitoring and testing uses handheld portable analyzers, kits, spectrometers or chromatography systems for air, water, soil, food and other sample testing. Useful features of analyzers such as BOD and COD include portability, easy calibration, automation and sensitivity.  Environmental test kits for pH, water, moisture, etc, should be accurate, sensitive, reliable, fast and easy to use.Solid-Phase ExtractionSolid-phase extraction (SPE) is used for clean-up, extraction and concentration of semi-volatile or non-volatile analytes from complex mixtures including blood, urine and food samples. Multiple formats are available for conducting SPE, including prepacked SPE cartridges, disks and microplates, as well as SPE sorbent powders for manual packing. SPE systems can be used to automate the process and extract multiple samples at once. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and supported liquid extraction (SLE) products are also available in the same formats. Find the best SPE, SLE and SPME equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Robotic InstrumentsRobotic instruments can be used for high-throughput automation of many lab processes. Such processes use instruments for assays like cell based assays and ELISA, for sample preparation like shakers, centrifuges and incubators, and for analysis such as sequencing and western blot analyzers. Useful features of robotic instruments include speed, reproducibility, barcode readers, software and automation.Safety EquipmentLaboratory safety equipment is essential to the effective operation of all laboratories and is required to minimize the risk of harm during experiments. Safety equipment includes radiation safety, radioactive / hazardous waste disposal, alarms and personal safety.
