Solid Phase Micro Extraction - a true green extraction technique

The PAL System offers the traditional SPME Fibers as well as the newly developed and more sensitive SPME Arrow technique.
The SPME Arrow is unbreakable, provides a much higher sorbent volume and surface. Applications using the SPME Arrow are faster and more sensitive.
Both techniques use an Agitator for incubation, the SPME Arrow also a Heatex Stirrer for powerful vial shaking.
On-fiber derivatization for polar analytes in GC analysis is optionally integrated in the automated workflows.
Immersion sampling and on-fiber derivatization for polar analytes for GC and LC analysis is optionally intergrated in the automated workflows.
Sampling with SPME Fiber or SPME Arrow only requires small sample volumes of few grams or milliliters of sample.
Online analysis is established using flow cells.

Flavor and Off-Flavor Analysis using Solid Phase Microextraction

Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME) is widely used for chemical analysis of foods, beverages and food contact materials. As an automated technique, the SPME applications are selected for their simplicity, throughput and extraction efficiency. As a solvent-free extraction, it is gains even more importance today as a green analytic technique. Besides the traditional SPME Fiber, the new SPME Arrow is enhancing trace level sensitivity at high mechanical robustness. With these features, this presentation will give insight on SPME analysis in coffee, wine and off-flavors.

Application Notes

Determination of C2-C12 aldehydes in water by SPME Arrow on-fiber derivatization and GC/MS

The method employing a SPME Arrow allows for the quantitation of water samples down to 50 ng/l for most of the described aldehydes with good precision.
A previous publication applying traditional standard SPME fibers and GC/MS achieved sensitivities down to 120-340 ng/l in spiked samples for C1, C3-C5
