Automated combined solid-phase extraction and evaporation system

Raykol's SPEva system represents the perfect technological evolution in sample preparation, integrating the advanced solid-phase extraction (SPE) capabilities of the Fotector series and the nitrogen-flow concentration of the Auto EVA series into a single, compact instrument.

Designed for high-throughput laboratories, it automates the entire workflow without any manual intervention, dramatically reducing operator exposure to solvents and ensuring maximum analytical accuracy.

Main Features

  • Integrated workflow: Continuously automates conditioning, sample loading, washing, drying, elution, and evaporation in parallel.
  • High throughput: Simultaneous processing of up to 8 channels in parallel for batch management of large workloads.
  • Sampling versatility: Supports standard SPE cartridges, membrane systems, immunoaffinity columns, and high-volume water samples (up to 1L).
  • Sample integrity: Transfer lines made of inert materials to eliminate carryover and prevent contamination.
  • Accurate flow control: Precision pumps and valves ensure consistent and repeatable theoretical recovery rates. Hood-compatible design: Extremely compact structure, ideal for fume hood storage to ensure laboratory safety.

Applications

Thanks to its operational flexibility and ability to handle complex or viscous matrices, the SPEva system is ideally suited to a variety of analytical fields:

  • Food Safety: Determination of pesticide residues, veterinary drugs, and contaminants in food matrices.
  • Environmental Analysis: Enrichment and extraction of organic pollutants (e.g., PFAS, micropollutants) from large volumes of surface water or wastewater.
  • Toxicology and Life Sciences: Automated extraction of toxic substances or metabolites from viscous biological fluids such as blood and urine.
  • Pharmaceuticals: Sample purification and pre-analytical clean-up for high-throughput screening sessions.

Technical Specifications

  • Operating Channels: Up to 8 simultaneous channels
  • Maximum Capacity: Automatic batch processing of up to 48 or 80 samples (depending on configuration)
  • Integrated Modules: SPE Extraction + Integrated Nitrogen Evaporator/Concentrator
  • Managed Volumes: From small biological volumes to 1 liter for environmental samples
  • Materials in Contact with the Sample: Highly chemically resistant and anti-adsorption tubing
  • Control Software: Intuitive graphical interface for programming gradients and elution steps.
