VERSA Mini LLE/SPE Workstation

Aurora has created a small automated liquid handling workstation designed to perform all stages of SPE and/or LLE from sample addition (utilizing disposable tips) to final analyte isolation with high precision, throughput and accuracy.

In LLE mode the system allows bulk addition (via reagent drop) of organic /aqueous reagents and aspiration of desired phases. In SPE the positive pressure feature allows for fast washing and separation of the analyte from the solid phase. The deck has a vortex shaker and heating /cooling blocks can be added. The system works with different sized vials, tubes, columns and plates.

A hot application is quantifying circulating levels of 25-Hydroxy Vitamin D given its importance for diagnosis of intestinal malabsorption and vitamin D deficiency or intoxication in humans. Vitamin D isoforms must be extracted using partitioning chromatography. The VERSA Mini LLE is suited for this and many other applications including metanephrine and β-carotene extraction.
