Accelerated solvent extraction (ASE)

 

ASE system is suitable for quick extraction of small amount of solid samples (e. g. soil, ash etc.). The automated instrumentation use solvents like organic and/or aqueous solvents (acids or bases) at elevated temperatures and pressures for the extraction of different chemical compounds from the solid matrix. The extracted compounds are organic contaminants (e. g. oil, pesticides etc.).

After ASE preparation samples can be examined with different high resolution analytical techniques (GC-MS, HPLC-MS, ICP-MS).
