The ePrep system focuses on automating analytical sample preparation, perfectly meeting laboratory demands for simplicity, robustness, ease of use, and reduced solvent volumes, which consequently decreases environmental impact.
The product range includes:
- ePrep workstation and accessories for robotic sample preparation.digiVOL digital syringe driver.
- µSPEed cartridges – micro SPE, micro-separations, and micro-reactors.
- Analytical syringes specifically designed for ePrep and digiVOL.
Designed to automate the analytical workflow by leveraging the precision of analytical syringes, ePrep delivers:
- Higher efficiency and productivity.
- Simple method optimization and validation.
- Reliable results by eliminating potential human errors and variability in sample preparation capacity.
- Reduced environmental impact and improved laboratory air quality by using smaller volumes of reagents and solvents.
Key Features of the ePrep Robotic Workstation
- Precise Small-Volume Dispensing Control: ePrep boasts unparalleled accuracy and precision in liquid handling; the syringe system is capable of dispensing micro-volumes down to 0.1 µL.
- "High-Pressure" Applications: The system can fully automate workflows that require positive pressure application, such as microSPE (µSPEed) and filtration.
- Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) Handling: Utilizing analytical syringes allows the system to process sealed vials, preventing sample loss from vaporization and minimizing potential health risks associated with toxic samples.
- Versatile Robotic Syringe Changing: Syringe volumes can be automatically changed during a single workflow to minimize dispensing errors and improve overall efficiency.
- Thorough Wash Cycles: The workstation washes the syringes between tasks, effectively eliminating carry-over and memory effects. (Disposable syringes can also be used).
Intuitive Management Software
The control software is simple and intuitive, allowing methods to be set up in just minutes. Most workflows can be created and validated within 5 to 15 minutes, while previously developed and saved methods can be recalled instantly to accelerate the entire process.The most common preparation steps, instrument parameters, syringes, racks, vials, and accessories are predefined and pre-programmed. This allows for straightforward workflow creation through user-friendly drag-and-drop processes.Pre-programmed standard operations include:Sample aliquoting, diluent addition, and reagent addition.Internal standard and surrogate standard addition.Serial dispensing, volume top-up, and serial dilution.In-syringe mixing and liquid transfer.Clean-up and purification operations using µSPEed cartridges.
