The EconoTrace Parallel SPE System is designed to streamline your laboratory’s workflow and increase productivity by automating the manual steps in your sample preparation process. The EconoTrace Parallel SPE system automates existing manual SPE techniques and replaces older manual Liquid-Liquid Extraction techniques and outdated semi-automated instruments.

The EconoTrace Parallel SPE system  combines extraction, drying and concentration into one step, providing a truly automated total sample prep solution for the laboratory.  Load samples onto the EconoTrace Parallel SPE system and start the automated extraction process. After loading the sample onto the SPE cartridge at the programmed flow rate, the drying step is accomplished using Nitrogen. This drying step replaces manual techniques. The analytes of interest are then eluted directly to the SuperVap Concentrator where the concentration process automatically brings the extract to final volume in an autosampler vial, ready for final analysis. Automating these processes into one step ensures the highest quality results in the shortest amount of time and eliminates both loss of compounds of interest from human error and the possibility of contamination.
