Mastering Sample Prep: The 12-Port SPE Manifold

Level up your sample prep game with a 12-port SPE manifold! This video will show you how to harness the power of parallel processing for faster, more efficient extractions.
Unleash the Power of 12!
Gather your party favors: 12-port SPE manifold, vacuum pump, solvent reservoirs, SPE cartridges chosen for your specific target analytes, and a waste container.
Prime Time: Prime your SPE cartridges according to the manufacturer's instructions. This ensures consistent flow and optimal performance.
Sample Distribution: This is where the magic of 12 ports happens! Distribute your samples evenly among all 12 cartridges. You'll be processing multiple samples simultaneously, saving significant time.
The Washing Station: Apply a washing solvent to remove unwanted matrix components. The 12-port manifold allows you to perform this step for all samples simultaneously, maintaining consistency across your entire batch.
Elution Celebration: Finally, elute your purified target compounds! Collect your precious isolates in separate vials for each sample, ready for further analysis.
Beyond the Party: SPE Advantages
Parallel Processing Powerhouse: By processing multiple samples at once, a 12-port SPE manifold significantly reduces your overall sample prep time. This is a game-changer for high-throughput workflows.
Efficiency Expert: Extracting from multiple samples simultaneously translates to increased efficiency and potentially lower costs per sample.
Consistency is Key: The 12-port format allows you to perform identical washing and elution steps on all samples concurrently. This minimizes variability and ensures reliable results.
Remember:
Treat Samples with Equality: Ensure even distribution of your sample mixture across all 12 cartridges for consistent results.
Solvent Selection is Crucial: Choose solvents compatible with both your SPE cartridges and target analytes to avoid unwanted interactions or losses.
Waste Not, Want Not: Always dispose of waste solvents responsibly according to your local regulations.
With a 12-port SPE manifold, you can transform sample prep from a tedious task to a streamlined process. Watch this video to learn the ropes and take your analytical workflow to the next level!
