Method Comparison

Manual SPE Method

  • Labor intensive extraction method (8 hours for

24 samples)

  • MDLs of 15 ppt or lower

AquaAnalysis

  • Faster turn-around on samples
  • MDLs of 10 ppt or lower
  • Potential for much lower MDLs with automated

cartridge loading

  • Automated with ability to run over night

Discussion on AquaAnalysis

Contribution to Environmental Engineering

  • Decreases error with all-in-one unit
  • Increases efficiency in sample preparation
  • Eliminates need for large sample volumes
  • Comparable cost to manual extraction with

lower O&M costs

  • Potentially lower MDLs
