Horizon Technology and Waters Corporation Introduce
New Sample Preparation Technology for Water Analysis

Oasis® HLB Disk Creates Greater Efficiencies for the Environmental Laboratory

Salem, NH, November 3, 2008 — Horizon Technology, Inc., and Waters Corporation have introduced the Oasis HLB Disk, a solid-phase sample preparation product for the analysis of EPA Method 8270 and 1694, endocrine disruptors, personal care products, pharmaceutical residues in surface water and drinking water, and other emerging contaminants. The single-use disks are designed to handle larger and dirtier samples leading to greater throughput for the environmental laboratory.

The water-wettable Oasis HLB Disks enhance the retention of polar compounds and work with a wide spectrum of compounds and extraction solvents for samples with a pH range of 1 - 14. Oasis HLB Disks are built on the Horizon Technology® Atlantic® Disk platform, widely used by environmental laboratories analyzing samples with gas and liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry in compliance with approved methods of analysis. With the introduction of Oasis HLB Disks, the Oasis HLB sorbent for solid-phase extraction protocols is now available in a disk format.

The Oasis HLB Disks incorporate the first hydrophilic-lipophilic-balanced water-wettable copolymer optimal for any sample cleanup and are unique in their purity, reproducibility, stability, and retention characteristics. They are designed for use with the Horizon Technology SPE-DEX® 4790 Automated Extractor System.
