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 streamlines sample extractions for large volume water analysis. While the assembly is simple, the compact footprint is perfect for 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. PEEK, PTFE, and stainless steel in the sample flow pathways ensure minimal to no corrosion from exposure to organic solvents like dichloromethane and acids.
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. 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.
