Sample cleanup is a very important step because methods often don’t respond to the analyte in its in-situ form, or the results can be distorted by interfering species. Column cleanup is used to eliminate interferences that can occur in the sample matrices. Multi-column cleanup procedures use multiple column chemistries to remove interferences and fractionate analytes of interest from complicated sample matrices.

Imagine performing the Sample Cleanup process for POPs analysis in liquids and solids automatically in as little as 30 minutes. Built on 25 years of FMS, Inc. experience and technology that has processed millions of Dioxin samples, FMS introduces a new family of integrated, economical sample cleanup systems that combine manual sample prep steps into one automated process. The EP-110 systems perform sample cleanup, fractionation and concentration for up to eight samples simultaneously in less than 1.5 hours, while delivering the highest recoveries and best results for all target Dioxin and PCB analytes. The systems are programmed and controlled via an easy-to-use touch screen and methods are stored on SD cards. A flexible system that automates sample preparation steps, such as sample loading, wash, elution and fraction collection, all in one step. An integrated concentrator concentrates the final extract automatically and delivers the final extract in a GC vial ready for GC/MS analysis.

Pressurized Fluid Extraction (PFE) or Pressurized Liquid Extraction (PLE) is a new sample extraction method that employs liquid solvents at elevated temperatures and pressures to prepare samples for analysis by either gas chromatography or liquid chromatography. Pressurized liquid extraction is similar to Soxhlet extraction, except that during the extraction process the solvent condition inside the PLE cell approaches the supercritical region which results in more efficient extractions. The elevated temperature allows the sample to become more soluble and achieve a higher diffusion rate while the elevated pressure keeps the solvent below its boiling point. At elevated pressures and temperatures solvents can penetrate solid samples more efficiently which reduces solvent usage.

The EconoTrace Parallel Solid Phase Extraction System is an automated One-Step Extraction and Concentration System is designed to streamline your workflow and increase productivity by automating the manual steps in your sample preparation process. The EconoTrace® Parallel Solid Phase Extraction System uses consistent reproducible positive pressure pumping to replace older manual Liquid-Liquid Extraction techniques, automates existing manual SPE methods and outdated semi-automated instruments.

The TurboTrace Parallel SPE system is designed to streamline your laboratory’s workflow and increase productivity by automating the manual steps in your sample preparation process. It is designed for high throughput and tough sample matrices.  The TurboTrace Parallel SPE system automates existing manual SPE techniques and replaces older manual Liquid-Liquid Extraction techniques and outdated semi-automated instruments.

Solvent evaporation/concentration is a critical step in the sample preparation process used by the clinical, food, environmental, pharmaceutical, chemical, and biotechnology industries. Because so many different types of samples and solvents are used for evaporation or concentration, no single technique can provide a universal solution. Over the years, many evaporation and concentration systems have been developed to address the range of applications and various market segments. These systems are based on nitrogen gas, vacuum pumps, cold traps, and heating technologies. There have been many new developments in dry heating baths as well as direct-to-vial endpoint delivery that are ready for deployment to an analytical instrument.
