The automation of the conventional solid phase extraction using the MultiPurposeSampler MPS.
Description
The SPE 2 option enables the automation of the conventional solid phase extraction using the MultiPurposeSampler MPS. Using the SPE 2 option, you can enrich and purify analytes from a sample. All steps that form part of the solid phase extraction process can be put together individually, enabling you to adapt the process to your analytical requirements. The system is controlled using the MAESTRO software. Within the software itself, all sample preparation steps can be prepped ahead to save time.
Functional principle of the SPE 2 option
Commercially available standard cartridges are fitted with transport adapters. Depending on the step to be performed, the MPS either injects a sample or a solvent into the cartridge. The liquid that runs through can be directed into a waste canister or collected in a clean vial. The SPE steps can be incorporated at any point within the automated sample preparation process and can be combined with additional steps that enable more extensive automated sample preparation, such as steps for the evaporation of the eluate using the mVAP option, for example.
