Dionex ASE 300 Accelerated Solvent Extractor Made in USA, Tested
The ASE® 300 Accelerated Solvent Extractor is an automated system for extracting organic compounds from a variety of solid and semisolid samples. The ASE 300 accelerates the traditional extraction process by using solvent at elevated temperatures. Pressure is applied to the sample extraction cell to maintain the heated solvent in a liquid state during the extraction. After heating, the extract is flushed from the sample cell into a standard collection bottle and is ready for analysis.
The ASE 300 Accelerated Solvent Extractor performs extractions using less solvent and less time than traditional techniques. Two additional modules are available to enhance the performance of the ASE 300: the Solvent Controller and AutoASE. The Solvent Controller is an easy-to-use module that allows automated solvent delivery from up to four solvents. AutoASE is a control and reporting application software package.
ASE is a technique for extracting solid and semisolid samples with liquid solvents. ASE uses conventional liquid solvents at elevated temperatures and pressures to increase the efficiency of the extraction process. Increased temperature accelerates the extraction kinetics, and elevated pressure keeps the solvent below its boiling point, thus enabling safe and rapid extractions.
ASE meets the requirements for extraction under U.S. EPA SW-846 Method 3545A for Pressurized Fluid Extraction of base/neutrals and acids, (BNAs), organophosphorous pesticides (OPPs), chlorinated pesticides and herbicides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), polychlorinated dibenzop-dioxins (PCDDs) and polychlorinated dibenzofurans (PCDFs), and diesel range organics (DROs). ASE replaces Soxhlet, sonication, wrist shaking, and other extraction techniques and uses less solvent and less time.
