The focuses of this month’s discussion are the:
“O” ring (30-0452-01) on the bottom of any 1000/3000 Disk Holder.
Cap Adapters (150-0001, 150-0008-01)
40 mL VOA vial adapter (160-0001-02)
125 mL Sepratory Funnel (27-0834-01)
Rinse Rods (50-0667)
Gasket on the top of the water in valve (02-0560)
“O” Rings used on the Rinse Rods – (30-0544, bag of 100).

Basically, my problem is this: the instrument seems incapable of eluting the solvent into the collection vial.

Are you keeping up with your annual six month Hydrophilic Solution treatments for your SPE-DEX 4790 or 1000/3000 SPE-DEX instruments?
1. The water sample will not flow down into the disk holder.
2. My water inlet valve may not be opening
3. My water inlet valve is opening, but my sample is not dispensing into the disk holder.
4. My entire collection vessel is filled with the water sample.

This month’s topic of discussion will be the operation of the valves within the SPE-DEX® 1000/3000 extractors. There are several internal valves in the extractors, the solvent to waste valve, the sample collect valve and the water to waste valve.

It’s important to replace these filters to ensure proper operation and protection of the internal solvent delivery valves. This filter not only traps particulates, but also protects the valves as particulates may get trapped within and could lead to improper solvent dispensing even when the extractors are at idle.

If you are experiencing sample overflow of the disk holder then check the sample bottle
adapter for leaks.

When not in use, the check valve ball can stick, preventing the elution of solvents into the
collection vessel. Prior to beginning an extraction, free the Check Valve by using the Check
Valve Tool (PN: 02-0725 for the 1000/3000XL Extractors, or PN: 02-0727 for the 4790
Extractors).

23 January 2012Our Service Engineers have collected their best pro tips on this page for looking after your SPE-DEX, DryVap or SpeedVap equipment.
A fully automated, single-station extraction system, the Horizon Technology SPE-DEX® 1000XL Automated Extractor System provides maximum speed, accuracy and simplicity for extracting a wide range of "clean" and "dirty" aqueous samples for oil and grease and non-polar material, in compliance with EPA Method 1664A/B. The SPE-DEX® 1000XL is ideal for facilities that process only a few samples each week.
The SPE-DEX® 1000XL Automated Extraction System uses Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) technology to streamline techniques such as labor-intensive, liquid-liquid extraction (LLE). In addition to delivering accurate, more consistent results, SPE technology reduces both sample processing times and solvent use.
Solvent consumption is cut by up to 90% compared to traditional liquid-liquid extraction methods. Sample run times are less than 30 minutes. Unattended operation increases the overall productivity of your lab as personnel are freed up for other projects. The SPE-DEX® 1000XL Automated Extractor processes samples directly from the original sample bottle. It automatically delivers the necessary solvents, regulates sample processing and disk drying times, rinses the sample bottle and collects the extract.
