More Consistent Flow Control for Improved Results

The ASPEC^® Positive Pressure Manifold offers an initial step to SPE automation for clinical, forensic and food or beverage testing laboratories. With the ability to accommodate 96-well SPE plates, the ASPEC manifold is also an ideal choice for sample cleanup prior to LC-MS for bioanalysis. It uses positive pressure gas to force viscous samples into SPE cartridges, unlike traditional SPE vacuum manifolds. The multiple adjustable flow rates improve consistency among samples and recoveries, and ensures uniform flow for both low- and high-viscosity solutions.

The ASPEC Positive Pressure Manifold, with its single gas input and small footprint, incorporates easily into laboratory workflows and provides a fast and simple way to prepare several samples in parallel for later analysis by chromatography.

The universal design of the ASPEC Positive Pressure Manifold makes it compatible with popular formats, including 1, 3 and 6mL SPE tabbed and tabless cartridges and 96-well SPE plates.

ASPEC^® SPE cartridges come in large variety of phases, silica or polymer based, and are available in 1, 3 and 6mL cartridges and 96-well plates. With high lot-to-lot reproducibility and high loading capacity, they guarantee reproducible SPE methods with high recovery and clean extraction. When combined with Gilson’s PLATEMASTER^® microplate pipetting device, the ASPEC Manifold greatly increases sample preparation throughput to meet increased testing demands in the clinical, forensic and food or beverage laboratories.
