Extract Samples 5 Times Faster, Distill Samples 3 Times Faster, and Significantly Lower Cost Per Test...

Step 1
Extract 1 L Sample
17 seconds is all it takes to filter a 40 mg/L* OPR and achieve 98% recovery. That’s 50 times faster than a typical single layer SPE filter with 89% recovery. In addition, triple layer Xenosep SPE Filters have 5 times the filtration capacity already built-in for the MS, MSD, and hard-to-filter samples.
*As required by EPA Method 1664A

Step 2
Elute and Dry Extract
Less filter clogging enables more efficient filter drying and eluting with less solvent. Xenosep sodium sulfate columns save time by eliminating off-line drying steps or repouring the extracted water sample back into the separatory funnel.

Step 3
Distill and Oven Dry Extract
Less extraction solvent means faster distillation. Final hexane extracts distill to dryness in about 10 minutes. Unique flat sided Xenosep flasks reduce oven drying times by 67% so you get QC tests in the dessicator 3 times faster than the other options below.
