Environmental sample extraction – improve quality and throughput
Prior to analysis, the extraction of environmental samples such as soils requires solvent extraction. Contaminants such as PCBs, semivolatile organic compounds and PAHs have traditionally been extracted using lengthy methods that also require large volumes of solvents.
The Milestone Ethos X microwave extraction system from Analytix can extract organic target compounds from soils in full compliance with EPA 3546 (100-115°C and 50-150 psi).
The system is capable of processing up to 24 samples and 30g of sample per vessel simultaneously thereby improving the limit of quantitation (LOQ) for analysis. This results in the capacity to extract over 200 samples in an eight-hour workday and the potential problems of contamination, memory effects and cleaning are eliminated due to the use of disposable glass vials.
