Product news

Horizon Technology has introduced the brand new SmartPrep Extractor. This system delivers versatility and intelligent sample preparation capabilities for cartridge based automated SPE.

SmartPrep is the first automated, small footprint, extraction system designed specifically for scalable cartridge based SPE of a wide range of contaminants in clean aqueous matrices. SmartPrep combines versatility and ease of use making automated SPE simple and affordable. The system enables the ability to apply unique methods to each sample or process up to (96) samples in batch mode and is compatible with most 1, 3 and 6 mL cartridges.

Similar to Horizon’s SPE-DEX® 4790 disk based system the SmartPrep is modular and scalable. Eight extractors can be linked to one PC. SmartPreps intuitive flexible software allows for individual method selection for each sample or batch processing. Ideal sample volumes are 10 mL- 1.0 Liter.

Sample PreparationSample preparation can improve the quality and speed of separation techniques. Products to assist sample preparation include filtration equipment, evaporators, membranes and sieves.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.
