Give it an 8 on a 1-10
Application Area:Refinery lab
"Been a good instrument. Might be nice if the 3 stations were plug and play per se, so could send in just a single station for repair if it went down, instead of the whole unit."

Works well, only complaint is changing O-rings and the websites difficulty.
Application Area:Analysis of Wastewater samples
"The instrument itself works as it should however we do have to frequently change out the O-rings that surround the solvent inlets. Also when trying to find part numbers, the website is not easy to navigate."

The 3100 is a significant upgrade to an already well-designed workhorse
Application Area:Oil & Grease/ TPH analysis of wastewater
"Our laboratory has used several Horizon extractors over the last 10+ years. The 3100 provides several highly-appreciated upgrades to what was already a well-designed extractor, including an overflow detector, reduced number of solvent reservoirs, and more secure sample holders."

Oil and grease (hexane extractables) is a general indicator of the amount of hydrocarbon in a water supply. It is used around the world to indicate pollution and to help ensure reliable waste treatment plant operation.
In the past this measurement was often made by extracting the water with a chlorofluorocarbon solvent and infrared used for the measurement step. With concern about the ozone layer and important toxicity concerns, these solvents have been outlawed in many countries and n-hexane is now the extraction solvent of choice. A simple gravimetric measurement is used for the analytical step.
The Biotage® Horizon 3100 extractor, coupled with the safe solvent delivery system, Pacific Premium solid phase extraction disks, in-line extract drying, the Speed-Vap IV Evaporation system, and the SolventTrap og provides a full workflow process for oil & grease analysis.
Features:
- Fully compliant with regulatory methods such as US EPA method 1664B, ISO 11349, and Standard Methods 5520B.
- Uses the original sample bottle to dispense the sample and automatically rinses it, too.
- Simple to operate with touch-screen
- Controller and on-board methods.
- Disks and bottles of various sizes accommodated for best match with laboratory needs.
- Handles all types of samples with reliable operation.
- Bench-top design, frees up hood space.
