Touch “start” to begin the automated process.

1. Select a Method
After a rack of Q-Cups containing samples are loaded into the EDGE, simply select the proper method, program the number of samples, and hit “Start”.

2. Autosampler Loads Sample
The Q-Cup is automatically loaded into the chamber by the autosampler. The pressure cap then creates a pressurized seal on the top of the Q-Cup.

3. Matrix is Extracted
Solvent is first added through the bottom to fill the gap between the chamber and Q-Cup, this aids in heat transfer. Then, solvent is added through the top of the Q-Cup to wet the sample.

As the chamber walls are heated, the pressure in the gap increases. This overcomes the pressure inside the Q-Cup, forcing the solvent to disperse into the sample.

4. Extract is Collected
Once the sample reaches temperature, the solvent is dispended through the Q-Disc, the cooling coil, and into a collection vial.

A simple solution to a complicated problem.

The aluminum Q-Cup sample holder consists of three easy-to-assemble pieces.

The open top creates a dispersive effect which promotes rapid extraction and filtration. The disposable Q-Discs completely filters your sample prior to analysis. No additional steps are required. The simple design lend

Load your samples in seconds.

Once the samples are placed in the Q-Cups, the Q-Cups are loaded into the rack along with the glass collection vials.

Next, the rack is loaded into the EDGE. The samples are then ready for the automated extraction process.

• Dispersive Solid Phase Extraction
• Pressurized Fluid Extraction
• Supported Liquid Extraction

No need for multiple systems for different samples, EDGE is the answer for all extractions, made possible by Q-Cup Technology. No matter your technique, you’ll extract a particle-free solution, ready for analysis.

Its small size is a big advantage.

The EDGE is only 14.25” wide. That’s about the width of an analytical balance. You can have multiple EDGE systems placed side-by-side on one bench top.

No sample transfer necessary.

The Q-Dry is a standalone solvent evaporator that’s compatible with both the 40 mL and 60 mL EDGE collection vials. Sample transfer isn’t necessary, which will save time and reduce your solvent consumption. The temperature can be set on a timer. The nitrogen flow can be easily adjusted.
