Power-Prep™ is changing the
face of high speed sample processing in today's laboratories. The
computer controlled liquid chromatography system performs simultaneous
sample processing automatically and unattended. You need only to
load your samples, snap on your pre-packed columns and press the start
key. The system performs the entire extraction and cleanup automatically
including sample loading, washing, elution and fraction collection.
The
Power-Prep™ system separates Dioxins, PCBs, and Pesticides for 5 samples
in less than one hour.
Software
FMS’s
powerful windows-based monitoring and control software offers a rich set
of features and flexibility. It includes functions to develop and
optimize methods.
Input parameter include flow rates, volumes, column
selection, sample size, solvent selection and fraction collection
Hardware
Each Power-Prep™ system contains multiple quick connect modules
consisting of:
- Power Supply
Module
- Control Module
- Pump &
Pressure Modules
- Valve Drive
Modules
- Sample Processing
Modules
The Power-Prep modules are
mounted vertically on a portable cabinet. It is a self contained system
that also provides storage for solvent bottles, waste and collectors.
Modular and Expandable
A one-sample PowerPrep
system can be expanded up to a 10 sample configuration. Both expansion
and module replacement are done via FMS’s quick connect modules. This feature
reduces system down time and increases laboratory throughput.
Applications
Sample Clean-Up
The
Power-Prep sample clean-up system separates Dioxins, PCBs, and Pesticides
from a variety of sample extracts such as:
- Soils
- Water
- Fly Ash
- Milk
- Air
- Waste
- Human Serum
- Adipose Tissue
- Fish Samples
- Waste Water
- Pulp & Paper
Solid Phase Extraction
(SPE)
In addition
to sample clean-up the Power-Prep automates the entire Solid Phase
Extraction of Dioxins, PCBs and Pesticides from a variety of aqueous
samples such as:
- Water
- Milk
- Waste Water
- Human Serum
Saves Time &
Money
With a few keystrokes, the Power-Prep system performs an entire
column chromatography, automatically achieving high recoveries for all
analytes. The unattended operation feature of the system saves labor and
valuable time.
The Power-Prep system reduces the amount of glassware and solvents
required for manual sample clean-up.
Uses Disposable Columns
The Power-Prep System uses pre packed disposable columns. FMS’s
proprietary columns are made from teflon and contain multi layer silica,
alumina, and carbon. FMS’s prepacked columns are tested for purity and
performance prior to shipment.
Yields High Recoveries
The combination of FMS’s patented pump controller and patented
prepacked disposable teflon columns produces high recoveries for all
analytes.
