What is Automated Solid Phase Extraction?
Automated Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) is a modern laboratory technique for preparing samples for analysis. This cutting-edge method enables the isolation of desired compounds from mixtures, enhancing the traditional SPE process's efficiency, consistency, and reproducibility. Its significance lies in its capacity to concurrently process multiple samples with minimal human intervention, making it particularly invaluable in environmental, food, biological, and fuel sample analysis.

Analysis of 47 Pesticides in Cannabis for High-Throughput Analysis: Traditional dSPE vs. Positive Pressure dSPE in a 96-Well Plate
This study examines using a QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) extraction approach coupled with either traditional dispersive-Solid Phase Extraction (dSPE) clean up versus UCT’s dSPE clean up in 96-well plate format using Hamilton’s [MPE]2 — automated positive pressure extraction and evaporation module — for the analysis of 47 pesticides in marijuana. This analysis demonstrates that for most compounds investigated, the high-throughput cleanup method exhibits comparable results to traditional dSPE cleanup. -
