Solid Phase Micro-Extraction

Solid Phase Micro-Extraction

Solid Phase Micro Extraction is a very Effective Way of Automated Sample Preparation

Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME) is the highly popular solventless and a true green analysis extraction technique. Either from a sample headspace or from immersion into an aqueous sample. A rich library of applications has been developed during already 25 years of use in trace analysis laboratories.

  • 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.

  • More about the utility and advantages of micromethods

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.

High-throughput Analysis of 1,4-Dioxane in Drinking Water using SPME Arrow–Trap with Multi-Step Enrichment

This application note showcases Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME) Arrow-trap technology, combined with multi-step enrichment (MSE) on the PAL3-Centri® platform and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS), to analyze 1,4-dioxane in water samples. The method successfully detects 1,4-dioxane at levels as low as 0.01 μg/L (10 ppt), surpassing the detection limits required by German REACH and US EPA regulations.
