Spark Holland introduces Symbiosis™ PICO: A small, affordable and versatile online SPE System

11 Feb 2008

Product news

Symbiosis™ PICO is Spark's latest integrated HPLC and Online SPE system. It offers all the advantages of online Solid Phase Extraction like higher assay sensitivity, no manual labor and lower costs of analysis. The new Multi Dimensional SPE mode allows the use of 2 different extraction mechanisms on 2 separate disposable SPE cartridges in one sample run, resulting in the highest possible clean-up per sample.

The Symbiosis™ PICO handles sample volumes from 10µl up to 10ml and can add, mix and dilute samples prior to the analysis, fully automated! The newly developed high pressure gradient LC pumps come with a 4 channel solvent selector to allow the use of multiple LC solvents. Combined with the optional column oven with integrated 6 port LC column selector, a large variety of LC conditions can be selected in one unattended run, giving the highest degree of flexibility.

Symbiosis™ PICO positions itself below Spark's high end online SPE system Symbiosis™ Pharma. It is a perfect fit for any LC-MS lab in search of an affordable integrated front-end HPLC and sample preparation system. Visit the Article Webpage to take advantage of a unique introduction offer for Symbiosis™ PICO.

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.

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.
