HydraFlow® is the latest addition to the UCT’s family of SPE manifolds geared towards efficient sample processing. Its unique design provides enhanced precision and streamlined sample extractions for large volume water analysis. While the assembly is simple, the compact footprint is perfect for a fume hood set-up, and the overall weight of only 12 kgs makes it easy to relocate the unit in the lab. HydraFlow® is equipped with 4 independent channels that allow the user to process the samples separately or simultaneously without the risk of cross-contamination during extraction. In addition, PEEK, PTFE, and stainless steel in the sample flow pathways ensure minimal to no corrosion from exposure to organic solvents like dichloromethane and acids.
- Improved efficiency and simple set-up
- Process up to 4 samples simultaneously without cross-contamination
- Compatible with UCT's Enviro-Clean Universal Columns
- Precision flow rate control for high-throughput sampling
- Cost-effective waste management system
- Easy maintenance and clean extracts
The distinctive feature of diverting the organic solvents and the aqueous solvents in separate collection bottles contributes to an effective waste management system and long-term cost savings. In addition, the waste and eluent collection channel switching valve adds convenience to the overall user experience.
As compared to traditional manifolds, HydraFlow® eliminates the need to turn off the vacuum pump, drain the waste liquid out and place the collection vials in the chamber. The precision control valves are another excellent feature used to achieve desired flow rates of waste and elution solvents.
Independent Channels - Four separate channels can be operated individually or simultaneously while ensuring a cross-contamination free extraction.
Cartridge Compatibility - The luer tip fittings on each channel are designed to work with UCT's Enviro-Clean Universal Columns.
Inert Pathways - PTFE, PEEK & stainless steel coated sample pathways can resist corrosion from prolonged exposure to organic solvents and other acids.
Channel Switching - Liquid channel-switching design allows an easy transition between waste discharge & sample collection. This convenient feature eliminates the need of opening the vacuum chamber to place the collection vials.
Partition Washes - Effective waste collection system achieved by separating organic solvents from aqueous solvents.
Precision Control - Waste & elution fine-tuning valves accurately control the flow of various sample volumes ensuring high consistency and reproducibility.
Simple Design - HydraFlow's lightweight and compact design allows for easier operation and maintenance.
