Because the Spe-Dex 1000XL & 3000XL Oil & Grease Machines are designed specifically for Method 1664A they can only be used with hexane and methanol. The use of other solvents will damage the extractors. Since the Spe-Dex 4790 was designed to perform all EPA approved SPE methods, it can handle all solvents. Some customers even use the Spe-Dex 4790 system for other internal R&D applications.
