The ASPEC™ XL4 uses positive pressure elution to automate solid phase extraction for both routine and method development work. The system processes four samples in parallel with the capability of processing up to 50 samples per hour. Its large capacity accesses up to 108 samples in a single batch.
- Accepts 1-, 3- and 6-mL standard SPE cartridges and 3M 96-well microplates
- Transfers extract into open or sealed autoinjector vials
- Provides mixed-mode (sequential, batch or combination) SPE and multicollection capabilities
- Collects eluting fractions into different rows utilizing the multicollect feature
- Uses positive-pressure elution technology, ensuring better reproducibility and higher precision
- Accesses up to nine solvents from any size bottle via transfer ports
