Evaporator and Reagent Fill Module

The Monitored Multi-Flow Positive Pressure Evaporative Extraction module, or Hamilton [MPE]², is a small liquid handling device that combines a patented dual-elevator design and liquid collection system with a laboratory’s air supply to automate solid-phase extraction (SPE) and other positive-pressure applications with high reproducibility. Complete the workflow by adding Evaporator and Reagent Fill Modules. The modular design offers convenience for users to personalize a solution for their unique application and needs. The Logistics Module uses a dual elevator and applies up to 100 psi of positive pressure to samples through a manifold connected to a control box. This eliminates inconsistency due to path of least resistance. The Evaporator Module provides sorbent drying, with variants for multiple microplate well densities. The Evaporator Module may be transported anywhere on the Hamilton liquid handling platform deck using the instrument’s gripper. The optional Reagent Fill Module integrates with the dual elevator to distribute reagents to the collection plate, with capacity for up to seventeen different reagents. Rapid filling distributes 1 mL of reagent across a 96-well microplate in less than one minute.
