High-Throughput, Reproducible Sample Preparation for Trace Analysis
Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) is a critical sample preparation technique used to isolate, concentrate, and purify analytes from complex matrices prior to chromatographic or mass spectrometry analysis.
Designed for laboratories requiring high reproducibility, automation, and contamination control, modern SPE systems significantly improve workflow efficiency while ensuring consistent analytical performance.
At Analis, we offer advanced SPE solutions from LabTech, engineered for environmental, food, pharmaceutical, and forensic laboratories seeking reliable and scalable sample preparation.
Why Choose Automated SPE?
Manual SPE workflows are time-consuming, operator-dependent, and prone to variability. Automated SPE systems address these challenges by delivering:
- High reproducibility across batches and operators
- Improved recovery rates and analytical accuracy
- Significant time savings through parallel processing
- Reduced solvent consumption and operational costs
- Enhanced safety by limiting operator exposure
These benefits are essential for laboratories operating under strict regulatory frameworks (ISO, GMP, GLP) or handling high sample volumes.
Applications of solid phase extraction
SPE systems are widely used across multiple analytical domains:
- Environmental analysis: pesticides, PFAS, pollutants in water and soil
- Food & beverage testing: contaminants, additives, residues
- Pharmaceutical & life sciences: drug development, bioanalysis
- Forensic & toxicology: drugs of abuse, trace compounds
- Clinical research: biomarker extraction and sample cleanup
