SPE-03
8-Channel High Efficiency Automated SPE System
The SPE-03 is a powerful and efficient automated solid phase extraction system capable of processing up to 8 samples at a time. It can be used for large and small volume water, food, soil, fuel, protein and forensics sample extraction and clean up. Like all our systems, it utilizes positive pressure to deliver fluids at fixed flow rates and prevent build up in your SPE cartridges. All samples start and finish at the same time.
Our flow path integration technique gives the SPE-03 a very small footprint and can easily fit in any fume hood. Special features include bottle rinsing, separate waste outlets and nitrogen drying.
This fully automated SPE system is the top choice for PFAS following EPA Methods 533/537/1633, DoD QSM 5.3 Table B-15, ISO 21675 and various proprietary methods. Other applications include 1-4 Dioxane, pesticides, PCBs, PAHs, mycotoxins and more.

SPE-03 Case Study


York Analytical Laboratories, now part of ALS, is the first PFAS lab in New York City and one of the leaders in environmental testing, recognized for their comprehensive PFAS solutions and turnaround time. As one of the earliest adopters of SPE automation, they leveraged the SPE-03 since 2019 to handle their full range of PFAS samples. With strong leadership and foresight, York successfully expanded its operation to 3 locations in 2023, supporting drinking water, surface water and wastewater applications through their growing fleet of SPE-03 systems.
PromoChrom proudly supports their PFAS testing with our automation, ensuring high throughput and compliance with new EPA methods and evolving regulations.
