Key functionality:
- Available in 1.1 mm (red body) or 1.5 mm (yellow body) outer diameter
- Smart SPME Arrow 1.5 mm - for use with solvents or reagents, that may lead to moderate swelling of PDMS phases
- 5 coating materials and 2 different film thicknesses
- Arrow-shaped tip allows smooth vial penetration and injector septa
- Design fully protects the coating material
- Color coded to indicate SPME Arrow coating and film thickness
- Integrated holder design facilitates installation and maintenance
Benefits compared to classical SPME Fibers:
- Up to 10 x more sensitivity compared to classical SPME
- Up to 5 x longer lifetime
- Full traceability thank to smart technology
- Designed for headspace and immersion sampling
*Widesleeve arrows with 1.5mm diameter have the same phase dimensions as the corresponding 1.1mm Arrows. The space to the outer needle allows phase swelling for special applications i.e. with high amounts of organic solvents. For all standard applications with aqueous samples we recommend to use 1.1mm Arrows.

PAL Smart SPME Arrow: The better SPME
In this product brochure, CTC Analytics showcases the PAL SPME Arrow, new patented technology for micro extraction, combining trace level sensitivity with high mechanical robustness. In contrast to traditional SPME Fibers, the SPME Arrow design fully protects the sorptive material, minimizing adverse influences and loss of analytes during transfer processes. With PAL RTC and PAL RSI, the SPME Arrow sampling is fully automated leading to high productivity.
CTC Analytics AG sample preparation compendium
Dive into the realm of sample preparation, a crucial part of the pre-analytical phase, exploring how automation – particularly using x,y,z robots and innovative tools for streamlining extraction procedures – transforms workflows for laboratories relying on liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Beyond this, these workflows may also serve as an inspiration for other analytical platforms.
Overcoming the challenge of profiling gin botanicals
The complexity of gin samples, with numerous botanicals contributing to aroma and flavor, makes chemical profiling challenging. CTC Analytics discusses the chemical profiling of gin botanicals using Headspace-SPME-Arrow-GCxGC-MSD/FID, a powerful analytical technique. The study analyzed twelve gins, identifying major botanicals and distinguishing between samples based on compound composition. GCxGC-MS was employed for its enhanced peak capacity and sensitivity. Sample preparation was automated using Headspace-SPME Arrow to target key compounds while avoiding matrix compounds.
Rice flavor compounds from robotically cooked rice
Rice is the seed of Oryza sativa L. and aromatic rice varieties have recently gained wider acceptance across the globe. Because of their characteristic aroma and flavor, they are highly favored and command higher prices in rice markets. Thus the ability to analyze flavor profiles is relevant to food quality laboratories. The rice seed itself usually does not release flavor or aroma compounds. By cooking in continuous boiling water for about 10 minutes, the fragrance components are released. The fragrance products might be formed through the Maillard reaction. In this application note, CTC Analytics introduces a simple, reliable, and full automated method for boiling and analyzing rice samples.
Determination of odor compounds in water by SPME arrow gas chromatography/mass spectrometry
In this application note, CTC Analytics presents a method for determining the off-odor substances in drinking water, 2-Methylisoborneol (2-MIB) and Geosmin, using the SPME Arrow device with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC-MS) detection
Determination of contaminating fragrances in fish by PAL SPME Arrow and GC-MS/MS
In this application note, PAL SPME Arrow followed by GC-MS/MS was used for the determination of nine polycyclic and nitro musk fragrances in fish samples. Moreover, the efficiency of this novel device is compared with the conventional solid phase microextraction (SPME) fibers in terms of extraction efficiency.
Screening for 57 odorous substances in drinking water using SPME ARROW
This application note describes the routine screening method for 57 odorous compounds in drinking water. It uses the versatile SPME ARROW extraction on a PAL RTC System to screen and quantify odorous substances in drinking water. The entire process of online extraction of water samples, enrichment, and injection can be automated without manual intervention. The significant reduction of organic solvents used improves the operator safety, making this automated method an important contribution to green analytical chemistry.
