Overview

The Thermo Scientific
AutoTrace 280 for short) is an automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) system for
use with large samples (20 mL to 4 L) to isolate trace organics in water or aqueous
matrices. The compounds of interest are trapped on SPE adsorbents (cartridge or
disk format) and then eluted with strong solvents to generate an extract ready for
an analysis.
A modified version, the Thermo Scientific
available for extraction of PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl) from drinking water.
Unless otherwise stated, information in this manual applies to both the standard
and PFAS systems.
The Dionex AutoTrace 280 is available in both cartridge and disk models:
•
Cartridge models use SPE devices in the cartridge format. Polymer cartridges
are available in the following sizes: 1 mL, 3 mL, and 6 mL.
Note that the 6 mL cartridge system is available in both Teflon and PEEK
formats.
Glass cartridges are available in one size: 6 mL.
•
Disk models use SPE devices in the disk format. Disks are available in one
size: 47 mm.
