\nThe Q-Cup is automatically loaded into the chamber by the auto sampler. The pressure cap then creates a pressurized seal on the top of the Q-Cup.<\/li>\n
\nSolvent is first added through the bottom to fill the gap between the chamber and Q-Cup; this aids in heat transfer. Then, solvent is added from the top of the Q-Cup to wet the sample.
\nAs the chamber walls are heated, the pressure in the solvent gap increases. This overcomes the pressure inside the Q-Cup, forcing the solvent to disperse into the sample.<\/li>\n
\nOnce the sample reaches temperature, the solvent is filtered through the Q-Disc, the cooling coil, and into a collection vial.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/h4>\n

\nThe cleanliness of the EDGE itself after a series of washes and the background of the S1 Q-Disc\u00ae, Q-Matrix Hydra\u2122, and the Q-Cup\u00ae used by the EDGE were examined. It was found that the substitutions provided a PFAS-free background on the EDGE, and the Q-Discs, Q-Matrix Hydra, and Q-Cups were PFAS-free. Thus, the EDGE is an excellent choice for laboratories that would like to automate their PFAS extractions without subjecting their samples to unwanted contamination.<\/p>\nRead our blogposts:<\/h3>\n
