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."

It's the best product on the market for automated SPE for oil and grease extraction.
Application Area:wastewater analysis of oil and grease epa method 1664b
"Results are reproducible but consistently lower than 95% recovery. Sometimes QC passes, but barely."

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."

Two Thumbs Up
Application Area:FOG/TPH analysis
"Easy to use equipment with reliable results. Fast analysis and run time."
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.
