Description
The SPE system is completely integrated into the LC-MS/MS system between the GERSTEL MultiPurpose Sampler (MPS) and the HPLC system. Online SPE can be combined with sample preparation steps performed by the MPS, including addition of standards, dilution, derivatization, and more. Following the MPS sample preparation steps, the sampel is introduced to the SPEXOS system. At the end of the SPE process, analytes are eluted by the HPLC mobile phase and transferred directly to the LC column for maximum recovery.
The complete system including MPS and SPEXOS is intuitively controlled by mouse click through the GERSTEL MAESTRO Software, integrted with the LC-MS/MS sequence table or independently in stand alone operation. The PrepAhead function enables multi-sample overlapping of sample preparation and LC-MS/MS analysis, ensuring optimal system utilization and best possible Return on Investment (ROI).
Benefits of GERSTEL SPEXOS
User Selectable Cartridge Exchange
- Reliable results through elimination of sample to sample carry-over since cartridges are replaced at regular intervals
- Cost savings though multiple use of cartridges when analyzing relatively clean samples
Sealed Extraction System
- No evaporation of solvents or ingress of impurities from laboratory air
- Improved laboratory air, less solvent needed, reliable results
Cartridge inserted into the LC mobile phase for elution
- Best possible analyte transfer to the analysis system, highest analyte recovery
100% Analyte transfer to the LC-MS/MS
- Simplified laboraotry logistics, less sample and less solvent needed
- Reliable results even when less sample is available
- Lowest limits of detection, no further concentration steps needed
Small cartridges/small sorbent volume
- Best possible LC separation based on small elution volume
- High sensitivity and high concentration factor even when samll sample volumes are used
Easily adapted for multiple analysis methods
- Flexible and simple adaptation through simple valve switching
- Flexible sample preparation in combination with MPS Sample Preparation Technologies
- Time savings and elimination of manual steps through comprehensive automation
- Highly flexible operation since all standard SPE sorbents are available
Control through GERSTEL MAESTRO Software
- Error elimination through uniform and intuitive user interface for the complete sample preparation process
- Best possible system utilization with PrepAhead synchronization of Sample Prep and analysis
