The SPE-03 automated SPE system processes up to 8 samples in parallel, with flexible bottle mounting for sample volumes from 0.5 to 4000 mL, built for high-throughput extraction across complex matrices.

High Capacity Inline Filter (F-HC-30) 
A high-capacity inline filter designed to remove both fine and large particulates. Suitable for processing up to 1 L of drinking water, surface water, or wastewater. 

PFAS-specific SPE cartridges optimised for seamless integration with SPE03 automation. Designed to provide robust PFAS enrichment, cleanup, and recovery while supporting compliance with major regulatory methods and standards 

Anti-Clogging Cartridge Frits (CF-06 or CF-03) 
Multi-layer frits are installed on top of the SPE cartridge, before extraction, to reduce the likelihood of cartridge clogging when processing challenging matrices. 

The vacuum concentrator D-EVA allows unattended, parallel and rapid concentration of up to 53 PFAS samples with automatic stop at a defined end-volume between (e.g. 500 – 900 µL).  The quantitative transfer into a GC vial is possible without time-consuming rinsing of the sample vessel.  

Combustion unit connected to Ion Chromatography. Pyrohydrolitic combustion of the extracted liquid containing PFAS. The formed HF is absorbed with UPW in a fraction vial. These negatively charged ions, will be injected and separated in the IC column. 

Autosampler designed for accurate, rapid and easy sample preparation of samples that require sample pretreatment for AOX/TOX and AOF analyses according to the column method (EPA 1621). 

The water samples automatically pass through the columns, where organically bound halogens were adsorbed onto microcolumns filled with activated carbon.

The Xprep-A6 serves as a stand-alone system for preparing samples for AOF analyses, which can be carried out by the Xprep C-IC.

These microcolumns were then placed into the Tuscan autosampler, which introduced them into the Xprep C-IC sample boat. 

The activated carbon is combusted in an oxygen-rich environment at high temperature. After combustion, the output gas stream containing the analytes is transferred to the Fraction Collection Unit and trapped in the absorber solution.

No additional autosampler is required, as the fraction collection unit of the Xprep C-IC also functions as an autosampler for the IC. It allows the collection and storage of up to 65 combusted samples.
