Product Details:
Simultaneously perform eight Sample Cleanups and Concentrations in less than 1 hour
The EconoPrep systems are integrated, economical sample preparation systems that combine the sample cleanup, and evaporation steps into one automated process.
Unattended Sample Preparation
Install the cleanup columns on the system, push the “Run” button and walk away. The EconoPrep systems will automatically load a sample and perform the entire sample preparation process unattended, in virtually one step. The final fraction is ready for analysis by GC, LC, or GC/LC/MS.
Same Day Turn Around for Multiple Samples
Because the EconoPrep can process eight samples in parallel sample cleanup, and concentration. EconoPrep systems are able to turn around up to 64 samples in a day.
Greener Approach Dramatically Reducing Solvent Consumption
The greater efficiency with which the EconoPrep systems perform cleanup reduces solvent consumption.
-Solvent Consumption as low as 120ml
Dramatic Savings in Time and Resources
EconoPrep systems perform the complete preparation of eight samples in just a 30 minutes, instead of days. This results in time and labor savings as well as high throughput.
Low Background Automated Sample Prep
The advanced, closed loop system design combined with pre-packed, disposable columns deliver cleaner backgrounds and eliminate cross contamination.
Wide range of pre-packed, disposable cleanup columns
A wide variety of economical, pre-packed, disposable cleanup columns are available for use with EconoPrep systems. These columns are configured in a variety of sizes and packing material types ? from standard multi-layered ABN silica to custom made columns.
Disposable Columns used for Dioxins and
PCBs, analysis:
1. Multi-layered ABN silica
2. Alumina
3. Carbon
4. High capacity acid silica (optional used for fatty samples, these column remove 5 to 7 grams of fat
Robust and Maintainable
The modular, flexible design of EconoPrep systems virtually eliminates downtime and makes them the most easily to maintain systems in today’s laboratories. Each system channel operates independently of the other channels, so if one channel malfunctions the others still work. Should a module malfunction, laboratory personnel can replace it on-site and the exposed construction makes parts accessible for easy replacement.
