Automated solid phase extraction workstation SPE PLUS

high-throughput

Applicable standards for fully automatic SPE solid phase extractor

The SPE PLUS fully automatic solid phase extractor is a laboratory sample pretreatment instrument designed for environmental and food analysis. It automates solid phase extraction workflows (column conditioning, sample loading, washing/drying, elution and fraction collection) to increase throughput, reproducibility and laboratory safety in trace organic compound testing.

Main performance characteristics of SPE solid phase extractor

The SPE PLUS fully automatic solid phase extractor integrates high-level automation and intelligent control to execute the complete SPE process automatically (column activation, sample loading, elution, drying, elution steps and sequential collection). The system delivers high recoveries and reproducibility that are difficult to achieve manually, enabling accurate, efficient and safe batch processing of environmental and food samples.

Technical Parameters

• Whole process automation: automatic column activation, sample loading, elution, drying, elution and stepwise collection.
• Main unit extraction channels: configurable as 8 / 4 / 2 channels (models SPE8001 PLUS, SPE4001 PLUS, SPE2001 PLUS) for parallel processing of samples.
• Continuous sample processing capability: supports SPE column volumes 1 mL, 3 mL, 6 mL, 10 mL, 12 mL and 20 mL; example throughput: smaller columns up to 80/40/20 samples, 12 mL columns 48/24/12 samples, 20 mL columns 40/20/10 samples.
• Automatic immunoaffinity column cap removal with a cap collection tank for detached commercial column caps (third-party test report available).
• Main unit equipped with no fewer than 8/4/2 groups of 12-way valves; solvent pipeline connects directly to solvent bottles and multi-way valve; solvent selection valve supports switching at least 8 solvents plus sample, extraction, air and waste; integrated pump and valve assembly (third-party test report available).
• No fewer than 8/4/2 independent high-precision syringe pumps; flow rate range 0.1–100 mL/min.
• Availability of ≥8/4/2 selectable organic solvents for activation and elution; each solvent on independent pipelines with automatic pipe cleaning.
• Automatic column rack mechanism: rack ejection by guide rail; instrument descends and inserts SPE column seal via insertion rod and can automatically and sequentially complete column sealing.
