Biotage
® (STO:
BIOT), a leading supplier of tools and technology for analytical and medicinal
chemistry, announced 2 new instruments that utilize positive pressure for
solid-phase extraction (SPE) of analytes in a wide variety of applications. The
Biotage
PRESSURE+
96 processes 96-well SPE plates and the Biotage PRESSURE+ 48 processes up to 48
SPE columns simultaneously.
The Biotage
PRESSURE+ utilizes a consistent, uniform flow of positive pressure that
effectively displaces both low viscosity and highly viscous samples. Individual
wells operate independently, increasing the overall reproducibility of analyte
recoveries. Conventional vacuum manifolds face challenges such as plugged wells
where faster flowing channels run dry, creating free-flow paths for vacuum
through the dry ports. Another challenge conventional systems face: as less
viscous samples vacate their wells, vacuum pressure drops exponentially,
leaving higher viscosity samples on the plate, resulting in variable analyte
recoveries. The positive pressure technology of the PRESSURE+ manifolds
eliminates these issues, resulting in increased recoveries, greater reproducibility,
easier validation and greater productivity for the user, saving time and money.
The
PRESSURE+ manifolds are ideally suited for Biotage
ISOLUTE ®
SLE+ Supported Liquid Extraction plates and columns. SLE+ in conjunction
with PRESSURE+ manifolds offers an efficient alternative to traditional
liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) for bioanalytical sample preparation, extracting
aqueous samples up to 10 mL. ISOLUTE SLE+ provides high analyte
recoveries, eliminates emulsion formation and reduces sample preparation time
by up to 50%.
"As a leader
in the global development of tools and technology for sample preparation,
Biotage continues to provide practical solutions for chemistry professionals.
In the last 12 months, we have introduced an extensive range of tools,
including an extended line of ISOLUTE and EVOLUTE consumables, the Biotage
RapidTrace
® SPE Workstation and TurboVap
® Evaporation
Workstations." says Toshiyuki Yachi, Vice President of Marketing at Biotage.
