Product news

Horizon Technology was pleased to announce the introduction of the SmartPrep® Cartridge Extractor II for method development and automation of previously developed manual methods. The SmartPrep II is a second-generation system with additional features and improved ruggedness. Positive pressure consistently delivers the sample and solvents, yielding reproducible unattended results. Cartridges of 1, 3 and 6-mL size from most manufacturers can be used in the system, easing the transition to automation.

“More extensive reporting and the implementation of an optional bar code reader speed the auxiliary tasks required when performing sample preparation” said Robert Johnson, CEO. “We believe our customers will be pleased with the system improvements and continued attention to their needs and requests.” said David Cross, Director of Engineering. The SmartPrep II is designed for special environmental applications, such as 1,4 dioxane, nitrosamines, acetamide herbicide degradates, food preparation such as aflatoxins in peanut paste, and energy methods such as furans in transformer oils.

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.
