Pressurized Solvent Extraction:

Serial vs. Parallel Extraction

Ask yourself these questions:

  • Do you want to process 6 samples at a time or one at a time?
  • Do you want to process 6 samples in 15 minutes, or 6 samples in 90 minutes?
  • Do you want to process 192 samples a day or 32 samples a day?


Serial Processing

Like an autosampler - processes one sample at a time with many moving parts.

serial processing

Parallel Processing

Processes all six samples at one time.

  • No sample carry over
  • No cross contamination
  • No worn O-rings
  • Low maintenance
