Why Automate Your QuEChERS Workflow

Manual QuEChERS means hours of hands-on work: weigh, add solvent, vortex, add salts, shake, centrifuge, transfer, add sorbents, vortex again, centrifuge again, transfer again, evaporate, reconstitute, filter, inject.

Every manual step adds variability, contamination risk, and compliance gaps. Skilled analysts spend their day pipetting instead of doing science.

With full automation:

Load samples. Select method. Press start. Collect MS-ready extracts. Walk away.

What the System Does

1
Weigh

0.5 to 10 g per sample, +/- 0.01 g accuracy

2
Extract

5 to 20 mL solvent, programmable vortex mixing

3
Add Salts

MgSO4, NaCl, NaAc, citrate buffers, automated

4
Centrifuge

1,000 to 10,000 rpm, programmable time

5
Clean Up (dSPE)

PSA, C18, GCB, Florisil dispensed at mg precision. Saves 40%+ on consumables.

6
Evaporate

N2 blow-down with near-dryness detection per channel. Solvent exchange for GC.

7
Filter and Inject

0.22 um membrane filtration. Extract ready for LC-MS/MS or GC-MS/MS.

Common Questions

What matrices are compatible? -
Fruits, vegetables, grains, tea, soil, sediment, feed, feed additives, traditional Chinese medicines, and biological samples. 50+ pre-installed protocols cover the majority of QuEChERS applications.
Does it work with my existing MS? +
Yes. The system connects to both LC-MS/MS and GC-MS/MS platforms. Online filtration delivers clean extracts. Automated solvent exchange supports GB 23200.113 for GC analysis.
How much can I save on consumables? +
Automated dispensing of salts and sorbents separately at mg precision eliminates pre-packaged kits. Most labs reduce consumable costs by over 40% while gaining full method flexibility.
What about data compliance? +
Full audit trail logs every workflow step with timestamps and user ID. Data exports as CSV, PDF, or LIMS-compatible formats. Touch-screen interface includes user access control and complete event logging.
Daily throughput? +
96 positions, under 30 minutes per cycle. Multiple batches per day. Walkaway operation means throughput matches your MS instrument cycle time, not prep time.
Can I develop custom methods? +
Yes. 10 independent powder channels and programmable parameters make method development straightforward. Adjust sorbent combinations, salt formulations, and extraction conditions freely for any matrix.

Custom method development and application consulting available.

Compatible with GC-MS/MS and LC-MS/MS analytical platforms
