PowerPrep Sample Cleanup System

PowerPrepTM Sample Cleanup System
Automated Sample Clean-up
Power-Prep™ is changing the face of high speed sample processing in today’s laboratories. The automated liquid
chromatography system performs simultaneous sample processing automatically and unattended. You need only to load your
samples, snap on your pre-packed columns and press the start key. The system performs the entire sample cleanup and
fractionation for six samples automatically including sample loading, washing, elution and fraction collection. Sample Type: The
Power-Prep concentrates and separates analytes from a variety of sample extracts such as: EPA SW-846 methods for pesticides,
PCBs and PAHs sample analysis. The Power-Prep™ system fits into the smallest budget. With its modular design, you can cost
effectively automate your extraction and sample clean-up procedures by purchasing a 1-sample system and expand it to 5 or 10
samples as needed.
Rapid Sample Processing
The Power-Prep™ system automates the sample cleanup process to be completed in hours versus days. For example it separates
Dioxins, PCBs, and Pesticides for 5 samples in less than one hour.
Cost Effective & Reliable Analysis
With a few keystrokes, the Power-Prep system performs an entire column chromatography, automatically achieving consistent
and high recoveries for all analytes. The unattended operation feature of the system saves labor and valuable time.
The Power-Prep system reduces the amount of glassware and solvents required for manual sample clean-up. Power-Prep
automates Sample clean-up specifically by EPA SW 846 methods for Dioxins, PCBs, Pesticides and PAHs.
High Recovery of all Analytes
Power-Prep Processes up to 6 samples simultaneously and produces high recoveries for all analytes of interest.
Modular, Expandable, & Affordable
A Power-Prep system can be expanded from one to a 10 sample configuration. Both expansion and module replacement are
done via FMS’s quick connect modules. This reduces system down time and increases laboratory throughput. Eliminating cross
contamination from sample to sample.
Disposable Columns
The Power-Prep System uses pre-packed disposable columns. FMS’s proprietary columns are made from Teflon and contain
multi layer silica, alumina, and carbon. FMS’s pre-packed columns are tested for purity and performance prior to shipment.
Eliminating cross contamination from sample to sample.
Electronic Documentation
The DMS-6000 real time software allows control of 6 channels of flow rates, volumes, sample size, column selection, solvent
selection and fraction collection. This allows automatic documentation of the entire process. When combined with extraction the
temperature and pressure can be superimposed and printed in graphic or tabular format and stored for future reference.
Multiple Method Storage
The DMS-6000 Editor allows multiple methods to be stored in the system. In each method parameters such as time, solvent
volume and final temperature can be set for each step. Pressure and temperature as well as dispensed volumes are displayed
every second and stored for future reference.
Economical System Platform
Power-Prep fits the smallest budgets. Due to its modular design, The Power-Prep can be purchased in one or three sample
configuration and expanded to five or ten when needed.
