Smart SPME Arrow - New Dimension for Solid Phase Micro Extraction

Smart SPME Arrow - New Dimension for Solid Phase Micro Extraction

Smart SPME Arrrow - Superior Sensitivity and Improved Mechanical Stability

Smart SPME Arrow is a new patented technology for Microextraction combining trace level sensitivity with high mechanical robustness. 

 

Smart SPME Arrow Collection

Key functionality of PAL Smart SPME Arrows:

  • 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

 

SPME Arrows
Comparison Surface Phase SPME Fiber vs SPME Arrow

Benefits compared to classical SPME Fibers:

  • Up to 10 x more sensitivity compared to classical SPME Fibers

  • Up to 5 x longer lifetime

  • Full traceability thanks to smart technology

  • Designed for headspace and immersion sampling

*Widesleeve SPME Arrows with 1.5 mm diameter have the same phase dimensions as the corresponding 1.1 mm SPME 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 1.1 mm SPME Arrows.

 

SPME Multi Guide to upgrade your SPME Fiber Tool

New: Introducing the SPME MultiGuide

SPME Arrow Tools now are equipped with the SPME MultiGuide. This allows SPME extractions in the Heatex Stirrer or in the Agitator. When using the SPME MultiGuide, the extractions can be done in the Agitator. For immersion extraction a Heatex Stirrer is required.

The PAL Smart SPME Arrows are available in order quantities of one, three or five Smart SPME Arrows per box.
For method development, a set of each SPME Arrow type (set of five) is available.

PAL Smart SPME Arrows work with all the PAL3 Systems, however to use the smart capabilities (ID, traceability, usage history)  the PAL3 Series II System is required.
