Biotage^® Horizon SmartPrep by Biotage

The Biotage^® SmartPrep is a rugged system designed for simple automation of manual solid phase extraction (SPE) methods. Just like manual SPE, up to 12 samples per SmartPrep system can be run. Through the use of a built-in touch screen or a separate computer, the same method or a variety of custom methods can be executed for each of the 12 samples.

The SmartPrep Software offers an easy and intuitive interface specifically designed to streamline the manual SPE process for 1, 3, and 6-mL cartridges. No specialized training or expertise is needed to run samples. Any technician level from novice to expert can quickly get started with SPE sample processing. SmartPrep software icons graphically confirm each SPE step and allow for multiple SPE methods to be processed on the same extraction system in compliance with your developed methods or with regulatory methods (i.e., EPA, FDA, USDA, AOAC and ISO).
