Product news

As a part of a mission to advance the power of SPE, Horizon Technology proudly introduces a new 47mm Solid Phase Extraction Disk optimized for automating EPA Method 8270. The new Atlantic™ 8270 disk incorporates a unique chemistry blend that will capture a broad range of semi-volatile organic compounds.

Used in conjunction with Horizon’s automated Sample Extraction System (SPE-DEX® 4790) this disk saves time, labor and money by shortening the entire extraction process by eliminating the necessity for base adjustment of the sample.

The new SPE disk simplifies the EPA 8270 Method by eliminating the collection of the acidified water sample after passing through the SPE disk and eliminating adjustment of the pH of the collected sample to pH 12. Additionally, doing away with the formation of insoluble metal hydroxides that can severely slow the flow of the sample through the disk. Finally, the basified sample does not need to go through the disk a second time.

At Pittcon 2011 Horizon Technology will have sample preparation equipment and accessories on display as well as the complete range of disk technology.

Oral and poster presentation titles, dates and locations can be found in the Pittcon 2011 program and also on the Horizon Technology media and events page.

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. 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.Automation Supplies / AccessoriesAutomated accessories and consumables make lab processes fast, efficient and reliable. Useful automation accessories include microplate sealers, label printers and reagent reservoirs.Automated Liquid HandlingAutomated liquid handling equipment is used to mix, dilute and dispense allotted volumes of liquid into microplates and other vessels automatically. The robotic, liquid handling arms can dispense from single channel to 3456 multichannel as well as operate nanoliter dispensing, enabling high throughput of samples.
