Spark pioneered Solid Phase Extraction with on-line elution into HPLC and LC-MS systems in the 1980s, followed by its introduction to the market in the early 1990s. Since then, the company has evolved into a world-class provider of innovative sample introduction, extraction and separation technology for analytical systems such as HPLC, MS, GC and NMR. Its installed base of OEM autosamplers will this year exceed the 20,000 mark, while more than 700 automated online SPE systems are now operational around the globe. Spark pro-actively gathers customer feedback and seeks to understand the typical problems in the analytical lab. This allows focus on product development towards method robustness, reproducibility, throughput and reliability, all to serve the united goal: increased lab efficiency, better economics and not the least important, ease of operation. With the ability to listen to customers, commitment to reduce their worry list and with 25% of its staff assigned to R&D, Spark is developing solutions today that customers will need tomorrow.
Spark Holland has been operating at the forefront of autosampler design for 25 years. Spark’s Reliance™ autosampler is the first true bio-injector, and is preferred by customers for 4 simple reasons: - Lowest possible carry-over- High-speed wash cycles- Low maintenance- Conditioned sample storage The Reliance™ autosampler complies with GLP requirements and can be coupled with most LC-MS systems. It runs fully integra…
The HySphere™ cartridge range has been specially developed for the Symbiosis / Prospekt on-line SPE system. The sorbents are exclusively developed by Spark to ensure optimal efficiency and reproducability for a wide range of compounds. The most important feature is the size of the sorbent particles, which is (for most sorbents) < 10 µm as compared to 40 µm in traditional SPE tubes. The elution volume of the 8 µm cartridge is m…
Spark has introduced the second edition of HySphere™ C8 End-Capped cartridges. We have selected a new perfect Spherical sorbent material with a narrow particle size distribution. This will create less back pressure during operation and allows you to run higher flow rates compared to our current HySphere™ C8 (EC). The new cartridge has the same excellent characteristics such as high extraction capacity and selectivity
Symbiosis™ Pharma is Spark Holland's unique solution for integrated online SPE-LC-MS automation (XLC-MS). The heart of the matter in XLC-MS, is where the autosampler injects at a controlled temperature, raw bio-fluids directly on a fresh disposable SPE cartridge. The small particle sorbent assures a clean extract, a very high sensitivity and reliable results. Online elution to the LC-MS cuts the number of sample prep steps in…
