Automated laboratory extractor Horizon 3100

solid-phasefor fat analysis

Overview
Automated disk‑based oil and grease extraction system for wastewater and environmental samples. The Biotage® Horizon 3100 delivers walk‑away automation with reduced solvent use and integrated safety features for routine laboratory processing.

Main benefits

• Intelligent liquid sensors and overflow protection to pause runs and prevent sample loss; controlled airflow and solvent delivery minimize operator exposure to hexane; spill containment platform protects the bench.
• Pacific® SPE disks with optional prefilters retain oil and grease with high recoveries; prefilter options handle particulate matrices and eliminate offline filtration steps.
• Direct sample loading from original bottles using cap adapters; automated bottle rinsing with precise solvent volumes recovers analytes from container walls and reduces contamination risk.
• Three independent extraction stations allow simultaneous processing of three samples or parallel workflows for increased throughput and true walk‑away operation.

Applications and compliance
Designed for environmental monitoring and industrial wastewater testing. Suitable for clean and dirty matrices without method change. Meets EPA Method 1664A/B, ISO 11349 and Standard Methods 5520G.

Extraction workflow

• Automated SPE with Pacific® disks
• Hexane elution with integrated drying
• Support for in‑line sodium sulfate drying cartridge (prepacked in‑line drying option)
• Automated bottle rinsing and precise solvent delivery to reduce technician variability
• Integration with solvent evaporation and optional solvent recovery systems to complete the workflow
