Automated Disposable Pipette Extraction DPX

Product catalog summary
Introduction to DPX: Disposable Pipette Extraction (DPX) is a rapid and efficient Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) technique used for various applications including drug monitoring and pesticide analysis. It utilizes pipette tips with sorbent material for optimal sample contact and extraction efficiency.
Key Features:
  • Fast extraction with no need for conditioning steps.
  • Low solvent requirement for elution, acting as a concentration step.
  • Automatable with GERSTEL MPS for integration with GC/MS or LC/MS systems.
DPX Process:
  1. Condition sorbent if necessary.
  2. Draw sample into pipette tip for sorbent contact.
  3. Use air bubble mixing for efficient extraction.
  4. Elute analytes for further analysis.
Advantages:
  • Rapid sample preparation and low detection limits.
  • High recovery and reproducibility.
  • Complete automation with GERSTEL MAESTRO software.
Applications: DPX is used for drug screening, including benzodiazepines and THC metabolites, with high sensitivity and specificity. It supports large volume injections without contamination, enhancing detection limits.
Performance Data: The document provides chromatograms and recovery rates for various drugs, demonstrating the technique's reliability and efficiency.
Software Integration: GERSTEL MAESTRO software offers seamless operation with Agilent ChemStation, enabling automated sample preparation and analysis with real-time monitoring and remote support.

Automated Disposable Pipette Extraction DPX-3

The DPX advantage GC/MS Applications 1 Rapid sample extraction • Equilibration and elution occur in seconds • Conditioning steps generally not required • DPX clean-up is faster than the GC or LC run and is easily performed in parallel to the analysis. The next sample is always ready for introduction when the GC or LC has finished its run for optimized productivity and throughput 2 Low detection limits • Less than 250 pL of blood or urine required to reach very low detection limits, when combined with large volume injection • Minimal elution volume, effectively providing a concentration step •...

DPX-LC/MS/MS Drug Screening Automated extraction and determination of 40 drugs in urine using automated DPX-LC/MS/MS. Samples of 276 pL hydrolyzed urine spiked with drugs were diluted with 500 pL acetonitrile, vortexed and transferred to a DPX-SC tip. After automated DPX the sample was evaporated and reconstituted using 100 pL of methanol / 0.05% formic acid (1:1 v/v). The analysis was performed using an Agilent 1200 HPLC with a Zorbax Eclipse Plus column DB-C18, 2.1x100 mm, 1.8 pm and an Agilent 6410 TripleQuad Mass Spectrometer (ESI, dynamic MRM, positive mode). LC-Conditions Injection Volume: Mobile...
