# ASE extraction in the laboratory: fast, high-performance sample preparation

## Are you looking for an efficient extraction method for your chemical analysis?

FILAB now includes ASE extraction (**Accelerated Solvent Extraction)** in its analytical equipment to offer faster, automated, and reproducible sample preparation.

**This technology makes it possible to extract target compounds from matrices using solvents under high temperature and high pressure.**

ASE is a high-performance alternative to conventional extraction methods, including [Soxhlet extraction](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-for-the-analysis-and-extraction-of-your-samples-by-soxhlet.md), significantly reducing preparation times and solvent consumption.

## What applications are possible with ASE extraction at FILAB laboratory?

ASE makes it possible to extract a wide range of organic compounds before analysis using different analytical techniques.

### Extraction of Organic Contaminants by ASE Extraction

[Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/chemical-analysis-laboratory/laboratory-analysis-of-polycyclic-aromatic-hydrocarbons-pah.md) (PAHs)

Persistent Organic Pollutants (POPs)

[Organic additives](https://filab.fr/en/our-services/our-analysis-services/chemical-analysis-laboratory/laboratory-analysis-additives.md)

Pesticides

PFAS according to adapted protocols

Organic residues at trace levels

### Extraction of Natural Compounds and Target Molecules by ASE Extraction

Natural bioactive molecules

Terpenes

Alkaloids

Polyphenols

### Lipid Extraction by ASE Extraction

Total lipids

Fatty acids

Oils and fats

## ASE for Your GC-MS, LC-MS/MS, HPLC and ICP-MS analysis

ASE extraction is a key sample preparation step before instrumental analysis.

At FILAB laboratory, the resulting extracts can be characterized using different analytical techniques:

- [GC-MS](https://filab.fr/nos-moyens-techniques/laboratoire-analysis-chromatographie-gc-ms/) for the identification and quantification of volatile or semi-volatile organic compounds
- [LC-MS/MS](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/altis-lc-msms-analysis.md) for targeted analysis of organic compounds at trace levels
- [HPLC for the characterization of organic molecules](https://filab.fr/nos-moyens-techniques/laboratoire-analysis-chromatographie-liquide-hplc/laboratoire-analysis-hplc-ms/)
- [ICP-MS](https://filab.fr/en/our-technical-resources/laboratory-analysis-icp-icp-ms-icp-aes.md) for the analysis of elements present in certain matrices after suitable preparation

## Our FAQ

 How do i get a quote from FILAB?
To get a quote, you can contact our teams via our contact form, by phone, or by email.
All you need to do is send us your requirements (material type, desired analysis, any applicable standard, urgency, sample quantity, etc.). We will then send you a personalized technical and pricing proposal within 24-48 hours.

 What is the typical analysis turnaround time?
Lead times vary depending on the nature of the analysis and the complexity of the expertise project.
However, FILAB is committed to providing fast turnaround times tailored to your constraints and industrial urgencies.

 What are the advantages of ASE compared with Soxhlet?
ASE reduces extraction times, lowers solvent consumption, automates sample preparation steps, and improves result reproducibility.

 Why entrust ASE extraction to a specialized laboratory?
The performance of an extraction depends on the choice of solvent, the extraction parameters, and adapting the protocol to the matrix being studied. An expert laboratory like FILAB can define a suitable and reliable analytical strategy.
