Dioxin Sample Cleanup System – Automated Multi-Column Sample Preparation for Dioxins and PCBs
Dioxin Sample Cleanup System performance is critical for accurate trace-level analysis. The PowerPrep/NG™ system offers a fully automated solution that eliminates the limitations of traditional manual cleanup. It delivers fast, precise, and reproducible results by automating multi-column chromatography, enabling high-throughput Dioxin Sample Cleanup System workflows.
PowerPrep/NG™ Dioxin Sample Cleanup System
The Dioxin Sample Cleanup System by FMS is built around the PowerPrep/NG™, an advanced liquid chromatography platform designed for unattended, simultaneous multi-sample cleanup. It handles all key steps—including sample loading, column conditioning, washing, elution, and fraction collection—automatically. This dramatically reduces preparation time while improving consistency and compliance.
Seamless Concentration with SuperVap™
The PowerPrep/NG™ Dioxin Sample Cleanup System pairs directly with the SuperVap™ Concentrator. This integration enables efficient, unattended solvent evaporation. The SuperVap™ uses a dry, waterless design with programmable heating and automatic nitrogen blowdown triggered by extract detection, ensuring clean, final concentrates for analysis.
Versatile Application for POPs
This Dioxin Sample Cleanup System is optimized for the purification of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs), including Dioxins and PCBs, from matrices such as:
-
Soil and sediment
-
Food and feed
-
Water and wastewater
-
Biological and environmental samples
It supports both single-column and multi-column configurations for flexible Dioxin Sample Cleanup System methods.
Modular, Scalable Design
Whether your lab processes 2 or 8 samples per batch, the modular design of the Dioxin Sample Cleanup System allows for easy expansion. Interchangeable processing modules make maintenance simple and accommodate increased throughput as your lab grows.
Programmable PCB Fraction Control
The PowerPrep/NG™ Dioxin Sample Cleanup System includes advanced fraction collection control. Users can program the system to isolate Co-Planar PCBs with the Dioxin fraction or group them with non-planar PCBs, depending on the analytical method and compliance standards.

Overview of Multi-Column Sample Cleanup
Effective sample cleanup is essential in trace analysis to eliminate interferences and isolate target analytes. Traditional manual cleanup methods are labor-intensive, time-consuming, and prone to variability. The PowerPrep/NG™ system solves these challenges by automating multi-column chromatography, delivering precise, reproducible, and interference-free results from complex sample matrices.
PowerPrep/NG™ Multi-Column Sample Cleanup System
The PowerPrep/NG™ system is an advanced, fully automated liquid chromatography platform that performs simultaneous, unattended sample processing. It automates the entire cleanup workflow—including sample loading, column washing, elution, fraction collection, and transfer—reducing sample prep time from days to hours. Its modular and scalable design allows for easy maintenance and future system expansion.
Seamless Integration with SuperVap™ Concentrator
The PowerPrep/NG™ system integrates directly with the SuperVap™ Concentrator, a dry, waterless, programmable evaporator that ramps to final temperature and initiates nitrogen blowdown when extract delivery is detected. Nitrogen stops automatically once each sample reaches its final volume, enabling efficient, unattended concentration and direct vial transfer.
Applications and Adaptability
PowerPrep/NG™ is ideal for the cleanup of Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs) such as Dioxins and PCBs across a wide range of sample types, including soil, sediment, air, water, food, feed, and biological matrices. The system supports both multi-column and single-column cleanup processes, allowing laboratories to switch between workflows and chemistries as needed.
Modular and Scalable Design
Designed for flexibility, the PowerPrep/NG™ features a modular column processing module that can be swapped out or upgraded. Whether your lab needs to clean up two or eight samples, the system can easily scale to meet your evolving throughput requirements.
PCBs Fraction Selection
The PowerPrep/NG™ offers programmable fraction control that enables users to selectively collect Co-Planar PCBs either together with the Dioxin fraction or combined with the non-planar PCBs fraction, depending on specific regulatory or analytical requirements. This flexibility allows labs to tailor the fractionation process to their method of choice.
