The Waters Extraction+ is a laboratory device designed for solid-phase extraction (SPE) workflows, facilitating sample preparation in analytical chemistry. It consists of two main components: the Extraction+ vacuum pump and the Extraction+ manifold. The system is engineered to integrate seamlessly with the Andrew+ Pipetting Robot, enhancing automation and precision in laboratory processes.
The primary function of the Extraction+ system is to perform solid-phase extraction, a sample preparation technique used to separate analytes from a sample matrix. This is achieved by drawing liquid samples through a sorbent material packed in cartridges or filter plates using a vacuum. The vacuum pump creates the necessary negative pressure to pull liquids through the extraction labware, while the manifold holds the labware and directs the flow.
The Extraction+ vacuum pump is a core component that generates and controls the vacuum. It features an LED indicator for status, a vacuum inlet for connection to the manifold, and a power button for operation. The pump is equipped with a built-in computer and a built-in wireless adapter, enabling connectivity and control through the OneLab software platform. This allows for the design and execution of extraction protocols, as well as monitoring of the experiment. The pump connects to a waste container via a silicone hose, collecting the discarded liquids during the extraction process.
The Extraction+ manifold is the interface where the extraction labware is placed. It comprises several parts: a collar lifter, a manifold collar, a manifold base that also serves as a waste collector, and specific adapters for different types of labware. The manifold is designed to accommodate various extraction labware, including columns in adapters or cartridges, and filter plates. It also supports different collection labware, such as tubes in adapters or plates with manifold spacers, allowing for flexibility in experimental setup.
When used with the Andrew+ Pipetting Robot, the Extraction+ vacuum manifold is typically placed at a specific deck location (Domino location 5), ensuring consistent and automated operation. The integration with OneLab allows for the creation of flow-through extraction actions, where users can design precise protocols using a drag-and-drop editor. The software guides the user through the experiment, providing visual instructions and recording each step.
The Extraction+ system offers several features to enhance usability and flexibility in laboratory settings:
