PromoChrom SPE Consumables
What consumables are available for PromoChrom SPE systems?
BioAnalytics supplies the full PromoChrom consumables range — AQUARIS SPE cartridges, Mini-disks, and anti-clogging accessories (frits, inline filters and tips) — each engineered for compatibility, consistency and reliable performance with the SPE-03 and Presto automated SPE systems.
AQUARIS SPE cartridges
AQUARIS SPE cartridges suit both aqueous and solid environmental samples — drinking water, wastewater, surface water, soil, tissue and leachate. Optimized for PFAS, they are tested to EPA Methods 537.1, 533, 1633 and DIN 38407-42, and are designed and recommended for the SPE-03. Each cartridge is factory-tested on PromoChrom’s own SPE-03 and validated for blank and flow to ensure cleanliness and eliminate batch-to-batch variation.

Mini-disks
Mini-disks combine the speed of an SPE disk with the automation and low solvent use of a cartridge. In a 30-mm format with roughly five times the cross-section of a 6-mL cartridge, they run at much higher flow rates while fitting cartridge-type automated SPE systems and vacuum manifolds. The 25-µm spherical beads with narrow size distribution increase sample capacity and lower flow resistance, and anti-clogging frit technology adds tolerance to particulates.
| Part No | Description | Application | Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| MD-BNA-30 | 25-µm spherical mixed-mode polymer; 40 Mini-disks/box | Basic, neutral and acidic compounds | 30 mm |
| MD-525-30 | 25-µm spherical mixed-mode polymer; 40 Mini-disks/box | Hydrophobic and hydrophilic compounds | 30 mm |
| MD-C18-30 | C18-bonded 25-µm spherical silica; 40 Mini-disks/box | Hydrophobic compounds | 30 mm |
Anti-clogging accessories
For challenging, high-particulate matrices, PromoChrom anti-clogging frits, inline filters and anti-clogging tips keep extractions flowing and deliver a clog-free experience — protecting cartridges and preserving recovery.
Frequently asked questions
Which cartridges are recommended for the SPE-03?
AQUARIS SPE cartridges are designed and recommended for the SPE-03 and are factory-tested on PromoChrom’s own SPE-03. They meet EPA Methods 537.1, 533 and 1633 and DIN 38407-42 for PFAS.
What are Mini-disks and when should I use them?
Mini-disks are a 30-mm format with about 5x the cross-section of a 6-mL cartridge, enabling much higher flow rates with less solvent. Use them for large-volume or high-particulate samples (for example with the Presto) and for faster SPE on cartridge-type instruments.
How do the anti-clogging accessories help?
Anti-clogging frits, inline filters and tips handle challenging, high-particulate matrices to keep extractions flowing and reduce clogging.
Are AQUARIS cartridges quality-tested?
Yes. Each batch is validated for blank and flow to ensure cleanliness and minimize batch-to-batch variation.
