Environmental Express Introduces SPE-XPress

A Revolutionary New System that Automates Oil and Grease Analysis

Charleston, SC – October 2011 The SPE-XPress system is specifically designed for the extraction and evaporation required by EPA Method 1664 for Oil and Grease Analysis. 

SPE-XPress is the ONLY Solid Phase Extraction system that:

  • Extracts your sample and evaporates the n-Hexane eliminating the transfer step
  • Verifies that the sample vessel is empty utilizing a fluid sensor rather than a timeframe improving accuracy
  • Runs multiple samples simultaneously on up to 6-stations improving Analyst efficiency 

SPE-XPress system

Simply load the 3-station SPE-XPress with standard one-liter sampling jars and walk away.  The system flushes itself clean, preps the extraction disk, then filters and extracts the sample through sodium sulfate with n-Hexane.  In the final stage the SPE-Xpress automatically transfers the extract to a pre-weighed aluminum pan where it is evaporated to dryness.  Remove the pan for final weighing and the process is complete.  User-friendly PC software controls the functionality while recording data for downloading to LIMS. The system is self contained so does not require placement under a fume hood.

SPE-Express is the only system that both extracts your sample and evaporates the n-Hexane.  And the only one that utilizes a fluid sensor to verify that the sample vessel is empty. It will reduce time and labor in your lab, improve accuracy plus minimize analyst contact with hazardous chemicals.
