: Automation and "Walk-Away" Productivity
Automation in 2026 has reduced human intervention in sample prep by 90%, transforming lab efficiency.
Robotic Integration: Systems like the Andrew+ or Otto Specialist handle everything from pipetting to vacuum pressure control.
24/7 Operation: Automated SPE manifolds can run overnight, processing 96-well plates or large-volume cartridges without supervision.
Throughput Comparison: In 2026, preparing 96 plasma samples takes only 15 minutes with modern SPE, compared to 60 minutes for traditional liquid-liquid extraction (LLE).
