Rethinking extraction for today's environmental labs

5 Mar 2026

PFAS analysis has become one of the most closely watched topics in environmental testing. Regulatory focus is increasingly extending beyond water samples to solid matrices such as soils, sediments, biosolids, and tissues. These matrices introduce additional analytical complexity, requiring extraction workflows that are robust and reproducible, while remaining efficient, contamination-free, and compatible with high laboratory throughput.

Discover how the Milestone ETHOS X, equipped with application-specific rotors, has been designed to meet the operational needs of environmental laboratories working with solid samples. Rather than replicating traditional multi-step workflows, ETHOS X integrates extraction into a single, closed-vessel process, replacing hours of manual handling with a fast, controlled, and repeatable operation.

ETHOS X microwave extraction system for organic pollutants determination

Milestone

Microwave-assisted solvent extraction offers superior lab efficiency in the determination of organic pollutants with microwave green extraction technique. Typical applications include chlorinated pesticides, semi-volatile organics, PAHs, PCBs, chlorinated herbicides, phenols, organophosphorus pesticides, dioxins and furans. ETHOS™ X with the fastEX-24 rotor allows the simultaneous extraction of 24 samples in 40 minutes with minimal solvent usage. By using disposable and inexpensive 100 mL
