Horizon Technology Simplifies the Automation of EPA Method 8270D with Advanced SPE Disk Technology

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) February 15, 2011 -- Salem, NH February 2011- As a part of Horizon technology’s mission to Advance the power of SPE today the company proudly introduces a new 47mm Solid Phase Extraction Disk optimized for automating EPA Method 8270. The new Atlantic™ SPH disk incorporates a unique chemistry blend that will capture a broad range of semi-volatile organic compounds. Used in conjunction with Horizon’s automated Sample Extraction System (SPE-DEX® 4790) this disk saves time, labor and money by shortening the entire extraction process by eliminating the necessity for base adjustment of the sample.

The new SPE disk simplifies the EPA 8270 Method by eliminating the collection of the acidified water sample after passing through the SPE disk and eliminating adjustment of the pH of the collected sample to pH 12. Additionally, doing away with the formation of insoluble metal hydroxides that can severely slow the flow of the sample through the disk. Finally, the basified sample does not need to go through the disk a second time.
