Solid Phase Extraction Unit

Introduction:

• The Athena System 96 allows for gas pressures up to the supplied line pressure (typically 60-75 psi.), thus supplying greater motive force for viscous sample flow. Adjusting the pressure up or down, produces a column flow response that is smooth and immediate. The optional heated manifold provides for rapid and thorough column drying, resulting in cleaner extracts and superior specificity when working with non-polar elution solvents.
• In contrast, the System 96 uses unique, restricted-flow gas ports. These ports create superior flow control such that even if 95 out of 96 wells are empty, dry, or wet, the remaining single well will receive normal pressure to allow facile processing.
