TRAY CONFIGURATIONS

 

 

The System 96-II Pressure Processor provides the means to batch process solid 
phase extraction columns in the 96-position format.  The System 96-II will 
accommodate both the integrated and the modular SPE plates stacked onto a 
variety of collection plates.  The modular SPE plate is a CEREX

®

 Holder plus plug-

in columns.  Rimless

 

CEREX

®

  1cc columns have been especially designed to fit 

into the 96-position footprint by insertion into the CEREX

®

  Holder. 

 
The re-usable CEREX

®

 Holder interfaces to several collection plates which are 

also in the 96-position format.  Depending upon the volume of the effluent, the 
appropriate collection tray can be selected from the ancillary products available.  
 
The  CEREX

®

 Holder is keyed to the collection plates so that sample position is 

preserved throughout the SPE sequence.  Both the CEREX

® 

Holder and collection 

plates are keyed to match so that when they are correctly aligned, the assembly 
sits level on the slide tray platform.
