Overview
Fully automated sample preparation system for PFAS and environmental workflows. Boost throughput, ensure traceability, and simplify complex extractions.

Main benefits

• Small footprint, big impact: reduced space requirements compared to traditional extraction techniques.
• Quiet and automated bottle rinsing for noise-free, efficient sample preparation.
• Easy sample handling: direct loading and rinsing accommodate a range of containers and up to two stacked columns.
• Designed and built for PFAS: minimal fluorinated materials in liquid flow channels to ensure low background for PFAS testing.
• Data management: generates and exports run reports and is compatible with LIMS for seamless integration.
• Intuitive interface: simple touch screen interface and audit-friendly software simplify operation and enhance data quality.
• Automatic monitoring: reagent and waste level monitoring with inline clog detection for uninterrupted operation.
• Syringe barrel positive pressure: delivers controlled, uniform pressure across multiple cartridges, suitable for viscous or particle-laden samples.
• Two workflows in one system: single or dual method setup enables simultaneous testing of different chemistries or staggered sample interactions.

Key features

• Dual-method flexibility with split-mode operation for testing two different chemistries in the same run.
• Compatibility with EVOLUTE® PFAS and PFAS+ cartridges to support regulatory PFAS workflows.
• Real-time clog detection and automatic reagent/waste level monitoring to reduce manual intervention.
• Quiet automated bottle rinsing and direct sample loading to reduce contamination risk and manual handling.
• Visual method editor on an 8" touchscreen; exportable run reports via USB; LIMS integration for audit-ready traceability.
