Microwave PFAS extraction system
The MARS 6 PFAS microwave PFAS extraction system is specifically designed with high throughput PFAS extraction in mind. From the 40 position turntable and PFAS-free centrifuge tubes in two different sizes, the simple design and operation make PFAS determination easier than ever.
Features of the microwave PFAS extraction system:
- High throughput system: 40 samples in a single batch
- Disposable vessels for easy cleaning
- Meets the requirements of EPA method 1633
- All components that are in contact with samples are tested to be PFAS-free
- Compatible with a wide variety of sample types
High throughput capabilities
Vessels designed with you in mind.
This MARS 6 can process up to 40 samples simultaneously, yielding the highest throughput of any system on the market. The simple turntable accepts 50 or 15 mL polypropylene centrifuge tubes. The easy operation facilitates transfer from sample to SPE or directly to analysis.
Efficient extraction
Better PFAS extraction at your fingertips.
In the MARS 6 PFAS System, samples are heated in a PFAS-free closed vessel, ensuring that the low detection necessary for accurate analysis are achieved. This PFAS-free environment accurately measures the temperature in each position to ensure complete extraction every time.
Reduced solvent consumption
Accelerated extraction process using less solvent.
The MARS 6 PFAS system can extract up to 40 samples simultaneously using standard centrifuge tubes. The centrifuge tubes stay sealed to prevent contamination, allowing for moderately elevated temperatures, while providing higher extraction efficiency. As a result, the MARS 6 PFAS system provides faster extraction times, better results, and reduces solvent usage and disposal costs for your laboratory.
The process of the microwave PFAS extraction system
User-friendly software, scientist centered design.
1. Select a method
After the turntable is loaded with prepared sample vessels, simply select the proper method, and hit “Start”.
2. Extracting the matrix
During the run, the MARS 6 will follow the method according to the selected parameters, including initializing, ramping, holding, cooling, etc. The MARS 6 applies microwaves to extract the sample. The turntable will rotate to allow the IR sensor to monitor the temperature of each sample.
3. Cooling the sample
For user safety, when the run is complete, the MARS 6 will allow the vessels to cool in-unit. After cooling, the sample is ready for further analysis.
