GL Sciences Aqua Trace ASPE900
The GL Sciences Aqua Trace ASPE900 is a fully automated solid phase extraction (SPE) system designed for the analysis of water samples, including tap water, drinking water, and groundwater. By automating traditionally labour-intensive tasks, the ASPE900 streamlines laboratory workflows, increasing throughput while maintaining high levels of accuracy and reproducibility. It is particularly well suited to demanding applications such as PFAS and pesticide analysis, where precision and consistency are critical.
Compact in design yet powerful in performance, the ASPE900 combines intuitive operation with precise control. An LCD touchscreen interface provides straightforward navigation and full visual control of the process, while a high-precision pump and switching valve ensure exact flow rate regulation for reliable, consistent extractions. With its advanced automation and ease of use, the ASPE900 delivers efficient, reproducible results and helps laboratories improve productivity in water quality analysis.

Features
- User Interface – Colour LCD touchscreen with intuitive graphical controls for straightforward setup and operation of SPE methods
- Method Flexibility – Up to 120 customised SPE methods can be stored, supporting applications such as PFAS, pesticides, phenols, 1,4-dioxane, geosmin, and 2-methylisoborneol
- Cartridge Compatibility – Accepts SPE cartridges with syringe-barrel or Luer connectors for flexible use
- Solvent Compatibility – Supports a wide range of solvents, including n-heptane, diethyl ether, methanol, acetonitrile, n-hexane, acetone, and dichloromethane
- Concentration – Graduated collection tubes enable direct eluent concentration within the system, avoiding the need for external evaporators
- Dehydration – SPE cartridges efficiently dried by simultaneous nitrogen purge and vacuum suction
- Integrated Evaporation – Automated heating (30–60°C) combined with angled nitrogen purge shortens concentration time while protecting volatile analytes
- Low Carry-Over – Sample lines can be rinsed with toluene and organic solvents, reducing contamination between runs
