The GPC-Prep System can automate pesticide sample
cleanup procedures specified by the US EPA and FDA methods. The
modularity and expansion features of the GPC-Prep allow the user to expand
the system for use in other applications such as the separation of
Dioxins and PCBs from environmental and biological samples. The
multi-column configuration (SPE option) allows automation of applications
which require silica gel, alumina, florisil, C18 columns and other
cartridges.
Affordable
The GPC-Prep System fits into the smallest budget. With its modular
design, you can cost-effectively automate your sample clean-up procedure
by purchasing a 5-sample system and expand it up to 10, 15 or 30 samples
as needed.
The GPC-Prep provides major savings in solvents and glassware as
compared with the amounts typically required in manual procedures. With
FMS's patented prepacked disposable Teflon columns (10 cm ID ) the
savings become more substantial.
Hardware
This multi-purpose liquid chromatography system has been designed for
automating Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) using size exclusion
techniques for sample cleanup procedures. The basic GPC-Prep system
includes:
- Main Controller
With Pump
- Management Module
- Sample Processing
Module
- Pressure Gauge
- Standard Glass
Column
Optional upgrades include a PC, UV monitor, fraction
collector, SPE module, additional column types, 5-sample expansion
modules and a variety of DMS software packages.
Easy Monitoring With The UV Option
The optional UV detector with a 254 nm flow cell is used for easy column
calibration and monitoring the elution profile.
System Configuration
The GPC-Prep basic system can process up to five samples automatically
and unattended. By Upgrading with cost-effective 5-sample expansion
modules, you can expand the system's capability to 10 or 15 samples. The
addition of an auxiliary fraction collector will expand its capability to
30 samples. Samples are processed sequentially, and FMS's patented fluid
delivery module ensures that all the samples are processed with the
highest precision and accuracy. The addition of the SPE module to the
system allows the automation of multi-column and SPE applications.
Enhanced Monitoring & Control with PC Option
The optional Real Time DMS-4000 software package controls all the
fluid-handling modules, including the pump, valves and columns. The
entire separation procedure, including sample loading, column washing,
elution and peak separation, is coordinated by the DMS-4000 software
package. The Editor function allows the operator to create, review and
run various separation protocols. The DMS-4000 also plots, displays and
stores the separation data.

Columns
Glass Columns
These columns are packed with SDVB resin beads. The innovative design of
these glass columns allows you to adjust the gel bed height for better
reliability and turbulence-free applications.
Teflon Columns
FMS's prepacked disposable Teflon columns employ a proprietary design
that allows the reduction of solvent consumption up to 70%. These columns
are easy to use and dramatically reduce elution time.
(SPE) Solid Phase Extraction Columns
FMS's Solid Phase Extraction Columns are designed for rapid pre-analysis
sample preparation by selective absorption and elution. High quality
Teflon and polypropylene column bodies and many different sorbent bed
packings such as Silica, Alumina , Florisil, and C18 are available in
sizes ranging from 0.5 to 20 grams.
