ASPEC 274 LV System
Parallel Processing for Maximum Efficiency
Four-probe Z-arm enables processing of four samples in parallel, increasing throughput and efficiency.
Positive Pressure for Reproducible Extractions
Positive pressure extraction with unique sealing cap design increases reproducibility from sample to sample. The syringe pump delivers accurate volume dispensing.
Smart Design for Maximized Performance
Mobile rack technology features multi-collect capability, which is a requirement for many large-volume regulatory methods, and sample transfer in closed vials after SPE.
Versatile Features for Large Sample Volumes
Each probe is connected to a sample selection valve to manage large volumes without compromising liquid handler bed space, providing reliable automation and flexibility for both small- and large-volume SPE applications. Optional dual-drain mobile racks separate aqueous and organic waste to reduce disposal costs.
Intuitive Error Handling for Trusted Results
The syringe pump pressure-sensing module provides error handling for high cartridge pressure or clogged liquid lines and monitors pressure on each fluid path individually. Optional jet wash rinse stations minimize carryover and cross contamination.
Versatile Software Control for Optimized Productivity
TRILUTION® Software allows for multiple liquid handling applications such as liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and SPE on the same ASPEC system. Optimize throughput and efficiency by processing samples in either batch or sequential mode. Multiple elution and parallel solvent testing allow you to quickly automate and optimize method development.
