The best choice to extract organic pollutants
Application Area: Analyze organic pollutants in environmental samples
"It is quite an easy device to use. It is capable of performing 24 extractions in less than 1 hour. The results obtained are highly reproducible. There is no risk of cross contamination between samples due to disposable glass reactors."
Determination of organic pollutants in environmental matrices is a common task for thousands of laboratories worldwide, as it leads to controlling and protecting our environment from high levels of contaminants. This analysis is often done to evaluate the effectiveness of a remediation process, to assess the contamination in waste, in waste landfills and for general environmental monitoring. Therefore, every day environmental laboratories deal with several challenges to ensure high quality data and fast turnaround time while maintaining their competitiveness. Milestone listened to the needs of environmental laboratory professionals by developing the ETHOS™ X with the fastEX-24 rotor, which allows for simultaneous extraction of 24 samples in 40 minutes with minimal solvent usage. By using large volume disposable glass vials, the fastEX-24 rotor simplifies handling and allows to achieve lower detection limits.
