Introducing the AD 41 SPE: Integrated SPE & High/Low Volume Pipetting in One Platform
Modern laboratories demand speed, consistency, and flexibility—without adding complexity. The AD 41 SPE was designed to meet that demand by combining solid phase extraction (SPE) and high/low volume pipetting into a single, fully integrated system.
This is not an add-on. It’s a rethinking of how SPE workflows should operate.
The Industry’s First Truly Integrated System
The AD 41 SPE merges liquid-controlled dispensing with variable-pressure SPE in one unit. Instead of relying on external vacuum manifolds, the system delivers uniform, well-specific pressure directly to each channel.
The result:
-
Consistent flow rates across all wells
-
Higher recoveries
-
Fewer variables to manage
-
A cleaner, more repeatable process
By eliminating external hardware and manual intervention, the AD 41 SPE simplifies SPE workflows while improving performance.
Built for Demanding Applications
The AD 41 SPE is engineered for laboratories working across a wide range of analytical environments, including:
-
Pharmaceutical analysis
-
Clinical analysis
-
Environmental testing
-
Food & beverage screening
-
Forensic science
Whether your workflow prioritizes throughput, precision, or adaptability, the system is designed to scale with your needs.
