New Gilson GX-271 & GX-274 ASPEC™ – The Ultimate Solution for Automated Solid Phase Extraction

22 Nov 2006

Product news

If you need to automate your solid phase extraction procedures, look no further than the new Gilson GX ASPEC Instrument range, from Anachem. Designed by the experts in this field with today’s laboratories in mind, these instruments maximise efficiency and throughput.

Large cartridge capacities and pressure sensing modules ensure constant system performance. The revolutionary JetWash rinse stations vastly reduce risks of carryover or contamination. Combining throughput, minimal linear bench space usage plus the ability to run unattended, the GX ASPEC is the perfect choice for SPE, sample preparation and sample clean up.

The GX-271 ASPEC is a single probe instrument that can be integrated with a GX Direct Injection Module for performing on-line injections onto HPLC, GC or LC/MS systems. The integration of mobile rack technology enables users to perform liquid handling tasks as well as SPE. Depending on the application required the multiple rinse stations with optional rinse pump creates multiple rinsing parameters. By incorporating the new 406 single syringe pump, pressure can be monitored via the sensing module allowing for the control of error conditions.

The GX-274 ASPEC is a four probe instrument that has capabilities of processing up to four samples simultaneously, increasing throughput and efficiency of your cartridge based applications. The GX-274 uses two 406 dual syringe pumps to transfer liquids, process multiple samples and monitor individual flow paths via pressure sensing. It’s on bed transfer ports allow access to two additional large volume solvent reservoirs without using precious rack positions, a capability that can be extended through the use of a VALVEMATE II solvent select valve which can increase the number is solvents/buffers to more than ten

Each instrument utilizes 1, 3 and 6ml SPE cartridges and by using an innovative sealing cap technology based on positive pressure elutions, cartridges can be sealed, run and monitored separately. The GX modular design allows for the use of code 20, 200 and 300 series racks and both the GX-271 and GX-274 ASPEC are controlled using Gilson’s Trilution™ LH 2.0 software.

Gas ChromatographyGas chromatography (GC) is an analytical technique used to separate and quantitate mixtures of small and volatile compounds. Gas chromatographs or GC systems include components such as GC columns, detectors, pumps and autosamplers. Choose from packed or capillary GC columns, flame ionization (FID), photoionization (PID) electron capture detectors and selective or non-selective detectors. Find the best gas chromatographs in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems.

Quantify proteins, contaminants, pesticides or screen for drug metabolites with a high level of sensitivity. LC-MS systems and equipment include reverse phase, normal phase and specialized columns integrated with various MS detectors such as time-of-flight (TOF), quadrupole, orbitrap or ion trap mass analyzers. LC-MS/MS instruments equipped with a qTOF or triple quadrupole analyzer give greater sensitivity and resolving power to your analysis. Find the best LC-MS equipment in our peer-reviewed product directory: compare products, check customer reviews and receive pricing direct from manufacturers.Lab-on-a-ChipLab-on-a-chip (LOC) technology uses microfluidic chips, such as microarrays, to perform biochemical assays on a small scale. Benefits of lab-on-a-chip include the small volume of sample required as well as the speed of analysis. In selecting lab-on-a-chip devices consider the assay, cost, reliability, sensitivity and signal to noise ratio.Solid-Phase ExtractionSolid-phase extraction (SPE) is used for clean-up, extraction and concentration of semi-volatile or non-volatile analytes from complex mixtures including blood, urine and food samples. Multiple formats are available for conducting SPE, including prepacked SPE cartridges, disks and microplates, as well as SPE sorbent powders for manual packing. SPE systems can be used to automate the process and extract multiple samples at once. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and supported liquid extraction (SLE) products are also available in the same formats.
