The ACQUITY UPLC system is now compatible with Symbiosis online solid phase extraction.
Waters Corporation has announced that its ACQUITY UPLC System is now available with online solid phase extraction (SPE) technology from Spark Holland BV.
The ACQUITY UPLC Online SPE Manager is based on a special version of the highly-popular Spark Holland online SPE technology, which Spark Holland is making available to Waters exclusively.
The Waters ACQUITY UPLC Online SPE Manager is now available as an integrated Waters UPLC/MS system or as an upgrade to installed ACQUITY UPLC Systems under an agreement with Spark Holland.
High-throughput analytical laboratories can now streamline sample preparation and analysis time and generate test results faster than before. The integrated system is sold and supported by Waters worldwide.
Leading laboratories use Spark Holland automated sample preparation devices to streamline sample preparation and analysis for routine, high throughput applications.
Scientists employ online solid phase extraction when removing involatile salts, ion suppressing species and other interferences from samples prior to analysis.
This reduces analysis time, reduces errors caused by manual SPE procedures, as well as provides a significant improvement in selectivity and concentrates analytes for better sensitivity.
In 2007, Waters and Spark Holland announced the availability of the Waters Oasis brand sorbent line for a newly-designed Spark Holland 800-series format tray for the Spark Holland Symbiosis and Prospekt-2 systems.
For the new system special UPLC cartridges are offered as well as novel applications. Spark Holland intends to expand its cartridge product line and applications portfolio continuously to serve clinical, pharmaceutical, food safety, and environmental control laboratories.
