Improving the reproducibility, method transfer, and processing efficiency of solid-phase extraction (SPE) sample preparation is challenging, and addressing it starts with your solutions. Achieve high-quality sample preparation and extraction by reducing user variability with the programmed pressure profiles and methods on the Otto SPEcialist Positive Pressure Manifold.
Controlled by an interfaced tablet, the easy-to-use Otto software simplifies solid-phase extraction method development and transfer, positive pressure optimization, and real-time manipulation of pressure profiles to further improve method robustness. The Otto SPEcialist Positive Pressure Manifold is a semi-automated system designed for use with both SPE plates and cartridges, including µElution and macro elution plates and 1 cc, 3 cc, and 6 cc cartridges.
To improve reproducibility and analytical consistency during sample preparation and solid-phase extraction.

The Otto SPEcialist Positive Pressure Manifold is controlled by the easy-to-use Otto Software. The touchscreen interface requires little-to-no training for novice and expert SPE users. Easily create pressure profiles with optimized flow rates for each step of your process. Whether it’s a simple “load, wash, elute” or a more complicated workflow with multiple steps, Otto Software makes running programed methods simple.

Replicates (n=3) of each level of the curve were run and standard deviations were determined and are indicated error bars. The Otto SPEcialist error bars, while present are very small and difficult to discern.
