Advance Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) System – ToronSPE™ Alpha Series
ToronSPE™ Alpha Series is an Advance Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) System built for automated, high-throughput sample preparation with precise, stable flow control to improve repeatability and parallel results across batches.
Designed to reduce hands-on time and improve lab safety, the system automates the full SPE workflow and can be placed in a fume hood to help limit exposure to hazardous organic reagents.
Advance Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) System – ToronSPE™ Alpha Series Applications
- Food safety testing (pesticide & veterinary drug residues): Automates cleanup and concentration steps to improve consistency across large sample sets.
- Environmental analysis (harmful organic compounds): Supports routine SPE preparation for environmental monitoring workflows, including higher-volume batch handling with modular expansion.
- Clinical/toxicology screening (poisonous materials in blood & urine): Provides controlled, repeatable extraction conditions to reduce variability between runs and operators.
Advance Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) System – ToronSPE™ Alpha Series Key Features
- Fully automated SPE workflow to reduce manual steps and improve throughput.
- Precise, stable flow-rate control to support repeatability and result parallelism.
- Patented plunger pole design closely interfaces with the SPE cartridge to help keep flow consistent across different cartridge conditions.
- Multi-channel simultaneous operation using the same method/conditions for batch consistency.
- Fast solvent switching via multi-port valves to reduce cycle time between steps.
- Multi-rail operation design to help reduce cross-contamination risk from back-and-forth movement.
- Surface-inert flow path & injection needle with configurable needle rinsing to help reduce carryover.
- Monitoring logs + intelligent error handling with abnormal samples handled separately and records saved for review.
- Remote wireless monitoring through a graphical software interface.
- Expandable, modular platform including compatibility with special cartridges/modules (e.g., immune affinity) and configurations for larger environmental batches.
- Improved sealing and leakage prevention using O-ring sealing (as shown in the brochure).
