Labor free, eco-friendly concentrations – comply with US EPA regulations

Syncore® Analyst: Automated solvent concentration at Con-Test® analytical laboratories according to US EPA methods
Labor free, eco-friendly concentrations – comply with US EPA regulations
Environmental waste, soil, water and air samples are usually concentrated before analysis. During the concentration step, traditionally performed by Kuderna-Danish (KD) or nitrogen blowdown devices, organic solvent fumes could escape to the environment. Thus, condensation of solvent vapors is inefficient, if possible at all. These solvent vapors are harmful to exposed operators and persist in the atmosphere where they may accelerate global warming. Obviously, environmental laboratories play a pioneering role in benign use and recycling of organic solvents. Therefore, environmental laboratories are strictly controlled. Special attention is paid on chlorinated solvent emission monitoring. Methylene chloride, for example, has a high global warming potential and is considered a probable human carcinogen. High solvent emissions and noncompliance with US EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) regulations could lead to severe monetary fines. We present the Syncore® technology applied in automated parallel concentration of samples and recuperation of organic solvents. Selected US EPA applications are listed where the Syncore® Analyst has been proven to be a “working horse” for the environmental chemist.
