Technical Specifications
Key Features
Advanced design for efficient PFAS extraction and analysis
1. Four Channel Independent Design
Up to 4 extractions can be performed simultaneously. The independent channels design ensures that each channel will not effect the others, preventing cross-contamination.
2. Universal Compatibility
The lure tip fitting at each extraction station make the EZ-Trace universally compatible. This is perfect for traditional SPE cartridges and the disk adapter assemblies included with the EZ-Trace.
3. Easy Eluate and Waste Separation
Each extraction station is equipped with a valve for easy switching between sample collection and waste removal. The flow can also be stopped with this valve to allow for solvent soaking steps.
4. Simple Collection Design
Each EZ-Trace unit comes with 4 standard 40mL collection vials and screw cap adapters. This simple design allows for easy setup and adaptive use of other types of collection vials.
5. Precision Flow Control
Equipped with a needle valve for both waste and elution flow, these valves allow for precision flow control. This feature makes the EZ-Trace perfect for both small and large volume samples.
6. Separate Waste Collection
This switching valve allows for separation of organic and aqueous waste streams. This environmentally friendly feature assists in proper disposal of each type of waste.
7. Inert Sample Pathways
Inert sample pathways made of PEEK, PTFE, and stainless steal prevent corrosion from organic solvents such as DCM. This extends the application range of the EZ-Trace and extends the lifetime of the parts.
8. Easy Maintenance
The simple flow design makes the EZ-Trace easy to maintain, clean, and replace components as needed.

The minimal-Teflon option keeps background interference well below the tightest limits. Can meet requirements as low as 0.3ppt MRLs.
Increased Throughput
Process 6 samples simultaneously, significantly reducing analysis time compared to single-channel systems while maintaining precision.
Experimental Data
Quantitative results demonstrating superior reproducibility
Applications
Optimized for proteomics and peptide analysis workflows
Protein/Peptide Desalting
High capacity enables small-volume desalting of peptides and proteins with excellent recovery rates exceeding 90%.
Peptide Fractionation
Efficient fractionation using ion exchange or reversed-phase chemistries for enhanced proteome coverage.
Buffer Exchange
Quick and efficient buffer exchange for downstream applications including mass spectrometry analysis.
Sample Cleanup
Remove salts, detergents, and other contaminants from biological samples before LC-MS/MS analysis.
Enrichment Applications
Selective enrichment of modified peptides including phosphopeptides and glycopeptides for PTM analysis.
Method Development
Perfect for method development when sample volumes exceed StageTip capacity but don't require full cartridge volumes.
