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.

Investigating the Protective Effects of Frankincense Oil on Wound Healing with GC–MS
April 2nd 2025Frankincense essential oil is known for its anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and therapeutic properties. A recent study investigated the protective effects of the oil in an excision wound model in rats, focusing on oxidative stress reduction, inflammatory cytokine modulation, and caspase-3 regulation; chemical composition of the oil was analyzed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS).
