Atomx Automated VOC Sample Prep System
VOC-orginal
The latest advancement in VOC instrumentation by Tekmar is the Atomx Automated Sample Prep System. The Atomx combines an Autosampler and Purge and Trap into a single instrument for the analysis of VOCs in soils and waters. This is the first of its kind and only system that employs a unique methanol extraction automation feature for high level soils in accordance with USEPA Method 5035.
Extractasol clean-up step (patent pending) in the Atomx reduces carryover or cross contamination normally associated with high-level water or soil analysis. Three new independent injection systems for internal standards, surrogates, and matrix spikes provide the ability to select variable volumes without generating waste.
The Atomx features Tekmar’s proven carousel drive capable of holding 80-vials for optimal throughput therefore reducing downtime. While priced competitively, this system offers unique features that cannot be found on other sample prep systems on the market today.
Features:
- Single platform system autosampler with built-in purge and trap for all water and soil matrices including drinking water and wastewater
- Capable of sampling low level and high level soil samples
- Only system to automate labor intensive Methanol Extractions
- Utilizes proven 80-position carousel design for optimal throughput
- Utilizes a digital Mass Flow Controller (MFC) for independent mode flow control (patent pending)
- Chiller options available for EPA requirements
- Ability to vary sample volume in 1mL aliquots from 1-25mL
- Reduce carryover with Extractasol - dedicated methanol port for rinsing needle, sample lines, and glassware
- Water reservoir included with standard instrument package
- Three - 15mL UV-protected standard spiking vessels prevent possible compound break-down. Capable of varying volume delivery in 1, 2, 5, 10, and 20µL aliquots and zero waste
- Shortest soil pathway on the market
- Automated system leak check diagnostics
- CFR compliance tools available
- Small footprint saves bench space

Pharmaceutical
Chemical solvents utilized in pharmaceutical manufacturing processes, and impurities transferred to drugs from packaging material, can contaminate final drug products. The International Conference on Harmonization (ICH) of Technical Requirements for Registration of Pharmaceuticals for Human Use published guidelines on a comprehensive list of solvents and their daily exposure limits. Each of these solvents has been assessed and classified according to their permitted daily exposure toxicity. In an effort to protect the health of patients, pharmaceutical companies have adopted methodologies to analyze for solvents used in the preparation of drug products. Teledyne Tekmar’s instruments are used to analyze these chemical solvents.
