Tired of spending days on sample preparation? Tired of spending countless hours on labor-intensive sample preparation steps?
Extractions that normally take hours can be done in minutes using Accelerated Solvent Extraction (ASE ® ) with pH hardened pathways using Dionium™ components. Compared to techniques like Soxhlet and sonication, ASE generates results in a fraction of the time.
The many steps involved in sample preparation can now be automated with ASE flow-through technology. Filtration and clean-up of solid samples can be achieved as part of the solvent extraction process in a single step. ASE offers a lower cost per sample than other techniques, reducing solvent consumption by up to 90%.
ASE is a patented technique for the extraction of solid and semisolid sample matrices using common solvents at elevated temperatures and pressures. ASE technology is available in both the entry-level ASE 150 system, and fully automated ASE 350.
Dionex ASE systems can be applied to many industries:
Environmental:
- Pesticides and herbicides
- PAHs and semi-volatiles
- PCBs
- Dioxins and furans
| - TPH (DRO)
- Explosives
- Air sampling cartridges (XAD and PUFs)
- Brominated flame retardants
|
ASE meets all of the requirements for extraction under U.S. EPA SW-846 Method 6860 Method 3545A for Pressurized Fluid Extraction, and is accepted under CLP SOW OLMO4.2.
