Automated Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) System
ACCURATE, FLEXIBLE, CUSTOMIZABLE SOLUTIONS FOR YOUR AUTOMATED LIQUID HANDLING
VERSA automated Solid Phase Extraction systems (also known as automated SPE systems) fully automate SPE workflows from cartridge conditioning to sample derivatization. With the combination of the ReagentDrop™ dispenser, Heater-Shaker, Gripper, and Nitrogen Dryer, VERSA automated solid phase extraction (SPE) systems act to produce contamination-free sample pre-processing and trace analyte enrichment before performing sample analysis by a chromatography-based platform (HPLC, GCMS, HPLC-MS, etc).
The VERSA line of automated SPE systems are highly scalable for different throughputs and budgets. From the compact VERSA 10 to the highly customizable VERSA 1100, they can boost productivity in applications ranging from forensics, environmental samples, pharmaceutical compound analysis (ADME), metabolomics, and food safety.
Independently Validated
Dr. Thiangthum and Dr. Tanunkat from Bureau of Drug and Narcotic of Thailand use the VERSA 1100 automated Solid Phase Extraction system to quantify amphetamine and methamphetamine in drug users. They test more than 100,000 urine samples each year.
Download the validation poster to see how the VERSA 1100 automated Solid Phase Extraction system is eliminating cross-contamination while ensuring accuracy and reproducibility in urine samples of drug users.
