The FMS PowerPrep SPE system is the first Total Sample Prep technology to combine SPE Extraction and Concentration into one step.
The FMS PowerPrep SPE system is the first Total Sample Prep technology to combine SPE Extraction and Concentration into one step. The system is built by design to simplify, improve and dramatically increase productivity by automating the manual steps of the laboratory’s sample preparation processes. The PowerPrep SPE system uses vacuum or positive pressure to load the sample quickly to the SPE cartridge and a positive pressure pump to deliver precise solvent volumes and flow rates for conditioning and elution. Drying is accomplished with Air, Nitrogen or the combination of both, the extract is delivered automatically to the PowerVap concentrator where it is brought to final volume for direct injection by the analytical instrument consistently yielding the best possible results. The PowerPrep SPE system accepts all SPE cartridge and column formats. The PowerPrep SPE system is used for the Herbicides, Organic Pollutants, PCBs, PAHs, Pesticides, Pops, Pharmaceutical byproducts, and Personal Care byproducts. Sample Matrices include serum, urine, milk, beverages, drinking water, waste water and many other liquid applications. The system is expandable from 1 to 6 modules and can run up to 6 samples in simultaneously and 30 sequentially.
Best of the Week: Food Analysis, Chemical Migration in Plastic Bottles, STEM Researcher of the Year
December 20th 2024Top articles published this week include the launch of our “From Lab to Table” content series, a Q&A interview about using liquid chromatography–high-resolution mass spectrometry (LC–HRMS) to assess chemical hazards in plastic bottles, and a piece recognizing Brett Paull for being named Tasmanian STEM Researcher of the Year.
Using LC-MS/MS to Measure Testosterone in Dried Blood Spots
December 19th 2024Testosterone measurements are typically performed using serum or plasma, but this presents several logistical challenges, especially for sample collection, storage, and transport. In a recently published article, Yehudah Gruenstein of the University of Miami explored key insights gained from dried blood spot assay validation for testosterone measurement.
