DEXTech Heat, Automated Sample Clean-up in PCB and Dioxin Analysis

for Samples Hardening at Room Temperature

Obertaufkirchen, November 2018

Automated saple clean-up with DEXTech Heat


The new System

The automated system DEXTech Heat especially cleans up samples that need to remain melted in PCB and dioxin analysis by keeping the sample liquid with three heating zones - from sample vial to the first column.

In PCB and dioxin analysis,
there is an increasing amount of samples that harden at room temperature and thus generate challenges for automated clean-up. LCTech GmbH, the specialist for automated sample preparation, has launched a new system on the market that automatically processes especially these samples without the need for additional tools or manual handling.

DEXTech Heat processes even difficult samples such as stearin or PFADs. Without clogging, automated, reliable and with best results.
Integrated heating zones heat up all components of the system that are relevant for processing the sample and to keep the sample liquid throughout the clean-up process – from sample vial to loading onto the first column.  

The features
DEXTech Heat separates PCBs and dioxins in one fraction each via a 3-column set-up based on aluminium oxide. The subsequent measurement can be performed for dioxins and PCBs in one GC-MS run each. Default methods in compliance with current regulations are already stored in the system.
Permanent automated rinsing steps of the system and exchangeable columns ensure that cross-contamination is reliably avoided at any time.
A multitude of safety features ensures the security of the user during the whole runtime. Like the entire DEXTech product family of LCTech, DEXTech Heat is conform to the EPA method and European regulations.
