The Agela’s SPE-40 automated workstation
Advanced bioanalytical techniques such as LC/MS/MS, GC/MS and HPLC meet the increasing demand for greater speed. In many laboratories, solid phase extraction (SPE) has then become the bottleneck step in high-throughput sample analysis. The Agela’s SPE-40 automated workstation is a 4-channel parallel system specifically designed for high-throughput sample processing. It is a powerful system, automating routine SPE procedures from conditioning, sample loading, washing and elution to collection. The built-in program facilitates rinse step during extraction to eliminate cross-contamination. Each thread of the 4-parallel channel can handle 6 samples in a given method that 24 samples in total can be prepared in a single run. It is an indispensable tool for applications in the area of agricultural and food chemistry, environmental monitoring, clinical testing and forensic analysis.
