As the eluent enters the collection flask it passes through a drying cartridge to remove any excess water so it is ready to be evaporated without a separate drying step. StepSaver Systems are easy and efficient to use.After activating the filter, pour your sample into the funnel and attach a vacuum source. Turn the stopcock to allow the sample waste to pour off into the waste carboy. Close the stopcock and add n-Hexane to elute off the oil and grease. Turn the stopcock the other direction to allow the n-Hexane to pass through the Na2SO4 drying cartridge and into the pre-weighed collection flask. Your sample is ready to be evaporated.StepSavers come in several configurations. Choose the funnel type, manifold material and number of stations that best suits your lab.Funnel Types• Reusable 1000mL glass funnels that you use with individual UltraFlow filters • Disposable 250mL polypropylene filter funnels that come with the UltraFlow filters already in placeManifold Types• PVC manifolds come in 1, 3 or 7 stations• Stainless Steel manifolds come in 1, 3 and 6 stationsGlass Funnel StepSaver Systems for 47mm Filters come with:Equipment• Specified Manifold• Specified Number of Extraction Stations: Each station comes with:- 1 1000mL Glass Funnel (G1017)- 1 Extraction Head with 40/35 Ground Glass Joint (G1020)- 1 120° 2-way PTFE Stopcock (G1025)- 1 Stainless Steel Filter Screen (G1030)- 1 Fluorosilicone Sealing Gasket (G3030)- 1 Aluminum Clamp (G1055)- 1 Keck Clip (G1050)- 2 100mL Borosilicate Glass Collection Flasks (G1045)• 1 20-Liter HDPE Waste Carboy with Tubing and Fittings (G3070*) * Note: 1 Station Systems come with 4L Carboy with Tubings and Fittings (G3064)Consumables• 2 Boxes of 20 47mm UltraFlow Filters (G5047MM)• 1 Pack of 50 Sodium Sulfate Drying Cartridges (G1065)• 1 Box of 20 x 10mL 40mg HEM Snip and Pour Standards (G3025)• 1 Box of 20 x 10mL 7 mg HEM MDL Snip and Pour Standards (G3023)Copyright Environmental Express, Inc., PSWCO&G12.10 Page 2E N V I R O N M E N T A L E X P R E S SCall 800.343.5319 or 843.881.6560 • www.environmentalexpress.comWet Chemistry: StepSaver for Oil and Grease Method 1664Glass Funnel StepSaver Systems for 47mm:Description Manifold Catalog # StepSaver System, 1-Station, Glass Funnel PVC G1101 StepSaver System, 3-Station, Glass Funnel PVC G1103 StepSaver System, 7-Station, Glass Funnel PVC G1107 StepSaver System, 1-Station, Glass Funnel Stainless Steel G2101 StepSaver System, 3-Station, Glass Funnel Stainless Steel G2103 StepSaver System, 6-Station, Glass Funnel Stainless Steel G2106 Stations can also be purchased separatelyIndividual Station, 47mm, Glass Funnel — G1047Stations with 90mm filters are also availableIndividual Station, 1000mL Glass Funnel with 90mm opening — G1090 Note: The G1300 will NOT accommodate six 90mm StepSaver kits due to branch spacing.

UltraFlow Filters from Environmental Express provide great recoveries, fast flow rates and high solids filtering capacity for EPA 1664 testing. UltraFlow Filters have two layers. The bottom layer, made of fine glass fibers infused with C-18 adsorbent attracts and holds the HEM fractions. The top layer, consisting of coarse glass fibers, improves filtration and eliminates the need for a separate prefilter.

Environmental Express standards meet all EPA requirements for Hexadecane/Stearic Acid Spiking Solution as specified by EPA Method 1664 for quality control sample analysis (see paragraph 7.10 of the method). Each lot of standards is checked gravimetrically and by GC. Snip & Pour Standards are packaged in convenient PTFE tubes.Just snip the top of the PTFE tube and pour the contents into the sample container or extraction apparatus. The precise volume of HEM is delivered to the LCS or Matrix Spike sample. Inexpensive tubes eliminate pipettes and require no warming prior to use. You may refrigerate these standards but for best results bring to room temperature prior to use. Each G3025 tube contains 40mg of extractable HEM per 10mL aliquot as mentioned in EPA method 1664. The G3026 tube contains 10mg extractable HEM for performing MDL analysis. Other concentrations are also available.Standards are also available in 30mL bottles.Standards also come packaged in nine 30mL screw-top bottles (G3020) for the pipetting of non-standard volumes. 10mL of solution delivers 40mg HEM. Standards are suitable for LCS and Matrix Spike samples and meet all EPA 1664 requirements for both Separatory Funnel (LLE) and Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) techniques. Bottled standards require refrigeration. Oil and Grease Standards are supplied with a Certificate of Analysis.Oil and Grease Standards are prepared using Class A volumetric glassware, analytical balance (0.0001mg) verified against NIST traceable weights prior to use, and high purity Acetone (<1mg/L residue). Stearic acid and hexadecane purities, CAS # and gravimetric concentration are stated on each certificate of analysis. Each lot of oil and grease standards is analyzed according to EPA Method 1664 and the results are provided on the Certificate of Analysis. Certificates provide lot numbers and expiration dates for each standard. MSDS is also supplied with each box of standards.Laboratory Control StandardsConcentration Catalog # Volume Pack20mg hexadecane / 20mg stearic acid(40mg HEM in 10mL acetone) G3025** 10mL 2020mg hexadecane / 20mg stearic acid(40mg HEM in 5mL acetone) G2018 5mL 2020mg hexadecane / 20mg stearic acid (9 bottles, 40mg per 10mL HEM in 30mL acetone) G3020 30mL 9Standards for MDL Studies3.5mg hexadecane and 3.5mg stearic acid(7mg HEM in 10mL acetone) G3023 10mL 20MDL Standard, 5mg HEM, 10mL tubes G3024 10mL 205mg hexadecane and 5mg stearic acid(10mg HEM in 10mL acetone) G3026 10mL 20** Concentration listed in EPA Method 1664.

Connect the QuikVap to your source of dried air or nitrogen and preheat the block to 65°C. Adjust the flow control valve to achieve the desired low flow of air or nitrogen. Evaporate to dryness in your pre-weighed vessels (40mL of solvent will take approximately 20 minutes to evaporate). Following the method, desiccate and reweigh. Operation of the QuikVap should take place under an operating fume hood.The system comes with block heater with pre-inserted six-position flask manifold, anodized aluminum pan adaptor plate, six curved needles, six needle adaptors, flow control valve with attached hose barb adaptor and one complimentary box of 105mm aluminum pans.The QuikVap can be used with 70mm, 105mm aluminum pans or 100mL flasks.Typically, the analyst will evaporate samples from either 100mL flasks or from aluminum pans, but not both. The QuikVap can be used for either method. The base unit accommodates 100mL flasks. The addition of the pan adaptor plate (included) configures the QuikVap for analysis using either 70mm or 105mm pans. Instructions for use will accompany your unit. You will also find more information on our website.The addition of the pan adaptor plate easily configures the QuikVap for analysis using aluminum pans.
