Biotage has announced the launch of the new Biotage® Extrahera™ LV-200 - a compact, automated sample preparation workstation, dedicated to 96 well arrays for microelution technologies and classical Supported Liquid Extraction (SLE), Solid Phase Extraction (SPE), Phospholipid Detection (PLD) and Protein Precipitation (PPT) formats.

The new Biotage® Extrahera™ LV-200 workstation is a GLP capable solution dedicated to 96 well arrays for microelution technologies. Using its 8-channel pipette head the LV-200 will precisely aspirate and dispense low volumes from 5 – 800 uL. The new system enables users to streamline pipetting by selecting up to three different pipette tips configurations within SLE or SPE workflows. Complete with comprehensive clean-up methods for biological fluids, the system comes pre-programmed with Biotage application notes, user-friendly prompts to assist in method building, and new features like “SMART” pipetting to prevent aspirating air into samples.

Like its predecessor, the Biotage® Extrahera™ LV-200 workstation has the same low maintenance design, intuitive software interface and enhanced data management tools of the Extrahera family. Where customer laboratory space is at a premium, the system’s compact footprint enables customers to optimize laboratory space.

“Biotage® Extrahera™ workstations have become reliable workhorses within forensic, clinical, and doping laboratories worldwide. At their heart is a robust positive pressure system for the consistent processing of all samples. The new Biotage® Extrahera™ LV-200 will help to transform automated sample preparation through its precision engineering, intuitive software, and flexible column/plate formats,” said Dan Menasco, Ph.D., Global Product Manager, Biotage.

AutosamplersAutosamplers are automated sample loaders used with a number of separation and analytical techniques. HPLC autosamplers use automated partial or full-loop injection systems and place samples in vials or microplates for analysis. Autosamplers can also be used for elemental analysis. Features to consider include repeatability, syringe capacity, footprint and temperature controls.  Sample ManagementSample management systems include sample storage devices such as freezers and plate storers, sample environment enclosures and sample organization, retrieval and sorter systems. Useful system features include high-throughput, automation, robotic arms, automated liquid handling and associated database systems. Accessories in sample management include barcode scanners, heat sealers and tubes.AutomationAutomation in laboratories and manufacturing processes enhances efficiency, precision, and scalability by reducing the need for manual intervention. It plays a critical role in improving productivity, minimizing human error, and accelerating workflows in fields like diagnostics, drug development, and industrial testing. Automation technologies include robotic systems, automated liquid handlers, and process control systems that streamline complex tasks and ensure consistent, reproducible results. Explore our peer-reviewed product directory to discover the best automation solutions, compare options, read user reviews, and get prices directly from manufacturers.Data ManagementSolid Phase Extraction (SPE)Solid phase extraction (SPE) is a sample preparation technique used to separate and concentrate analytes from complex mixtures. It is widely used in environmental, pharmaceutical, and clinical analysis. SPE provides higher sensitivity and selectivity compared to traditional liquid-liquid extraction methods, making it essential for accurate and reproducible results.
