PromoChrom Presto - 8-Channel SPE System for High-Particulate Environmental Sample Analysis
The Presto 8-Channel Accelerated SPE System is designed for exceptional efficiency in processing large volumes or samples with high particulate matter. Key features of this system include integrated continuous pumps for rapid sample loading, managing up to 1L samples within 10 to 20 minutes using SPE Mini-disks or compatible cartridges. Each sample line boasts individual flow control and can be disabled independently. Advanced pressure monitoring and flow correction adapt to sample matrix variations, providing cartridge pressure warnings. The system also includes an empty line detection feature to alert users of premature sample depletion due to clogging, leakage, or tubing issues, and can intelligently stop sample loading on affected channels. This robust system supports various EPA methods including 525, 1633, 533, and 537.1, and is suitable for extracting compounds from environmental samples such as drinking water, wastewater, surface water, seawater, and leachate.
PromoChrom - 8-Channel Solid Phase Extraction System for Diverse Sample Processing
The SPE-03 is an advanced automated solid phase extraction (SPE) system designed to handle up to 8 samples simultaneously, optimizing both efficiency and productivity. Suitable for various applications, including water, food, soil, fuel, protein, and forensic sample extraction and cleanup, the SPE-03 employs positive pressure to ensure precise fluid delivery and prevent cartridge blockages. Featuring a compact design for easy integration into any fume hood, this unit includes specialized functionalities such as bottle rinsing, dedicated waste outlets, and nitrogen drying. The system supports a range of analytical methods including EPA Methods 537/533/1633 and ISO 21675, making it ideal for PFAS analysis, among other contaminants like 1-4 Dioxane and pesticides. The SPE-03`s flexible sample loading options further enhance its adaptability for different volume and particulate samples, ensuring consistent and reliable performance across various testing scenarios.
Protein Purification
PromoChrom OttoPure - Automated Protein Purification System
The OttoPure Automated Protein Purification System accelerates protein purification processes up to 40 times faster than manual methods. It efficiently handles the automated purification of up to 8 samples in parallel, accommodating sample volumes up to 1L and utilizing as many as 9 buffer solutions. This system is compatible with a range of columns, including GE HiTrap™, gravity-flow, and standard SPE cartridges, ranging from 1mL to 70mL. Its positive-pressure liquid delivery ensures consistent flow rates and fixed processing times, eliminating the need for supervision and allowing for increased column packing capacity. The OttoPure system also offers up to 2 fractions per sample and allows for automated column regeneration depending on the application. It features a user-friendly, programmable touch interface capable of saving up to 100 methods, supporting extensive column compatibility. Designed to operate at temperatures as low as 4°C, it is ideal for proteins requiring low-temperature preservation. Additionally, the OttoPure Duo variant increases productivity by processing two columns simultaneously and reducing downtime.Consumables
PromoChrom AQUARIS - SPE Cartridges for Environmental Sample Extraction
AQUARIS™ SPE cartridges are designed for efficient extraction of both aqueous and solid environmental samples, including drinking water, wastewater, surface water, soil, tissue, and leachate. The cartridges are particularly optimized for PFAS (Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances) applications and are rigorously tested to comply with EPA Methods 537.1, 533, 1633, and DIN 38407-42. A notable advantage of these cartridges is the factory testing performed on PromoChrom’s own SPE-03 system, which adds assurance for labs using the same system. The cartridges undergo stringent validation for blank and flow metrics to ensure high cleanliness and quality, reducing batch-to-batch variability and ensuring seamless extraction operations. PromoChrom also offers robust support and expertise to ensure precise and efficient extraction processes.
PromoChrom - SPE Mini-Disks for Environmental Sample Extraction
PromoChrom Technologies has innovated Mini-disks to capture the advantages of SPE disks, particularly in extraction speed, while addressing their limitations in solvent consumption and automation. These Mini-disks are designed with a format size similar to a 30-mm syringe filter and provide an increased cross-section area five times that of a 6-mL SPE cartridge. This larger cross-sectional area, combined with optimized sorbent properties, allows Mini-disks to operate at higher flow rates compared to traditional SPE cartridges. Their compact size facilitates seamless integration with cartridge-type SPE instruments and minimizes solvent usage. Mini-disks are also compatible with standard luer slip connections, making them suitable for automated SPE systems and vacuum manifolds. Additionally, they feature narrow particle-size distribution sorbent material composed of 25-um spherical beads, enhancing sample capacity and reducing resistance to liquid flow. The anti-clogging frit technology further improves tolerance to particulates, making these Mini-disks a robust solution for solid phase extraction applications, including the automated extraction of TCLP semi-volatiles targeting basic, neutral, and acidic compounds.
PromoChrom - Multi-Layer Frits Replacement for SPE Systems
Cartridge clogging during sample extraction can greatly decrease laboratory efficiency. PromoChrom offers multi-layer frits designed to either replace the original cartridge frit or be added on top of it. These frits are less adsorptive to highly hydrophobic analytes, such as PAHs and PCBs, thus reducing the elution volume required for collection when the original frit is replaced. The use of multi-layer frits ensures smoother extraction processes, whether an automated SPE system or a vacuum manifold is employed. PromoChrom also provides a toolkit to facilitate the replacement of the original frits, enhancing laboratory workflows and minimizing downtime caused by clogging issues. Tested on samples with significant particulate content, these frits proved effective in maintaining normal flow where traditional frits failed.
PromoChrom - Sample Extraction Anti-Clogging Tips for Water Analysis
Anti-Clogging Tips are designed specifically to prevent clogs caused by large particulates and floating materials during the extraction process. These tips ensure a clear pathway, effectively preventing line and filter blockages. Especially useful in dealing with challenging sample matrices, they facilitate seamless extractions with a high rate of recovery. By maintaining unobstructed pathways, these tips ensure reliable and consistent results in various applications, including PFAS extraction from both potable and non-potable water, as well as protein purification. Easy attachment to the sample line makes them user-friendly and highly effective in protecting downstream components from fouling.Consumables - Inline Filters
