Tecan Resolvex A200 96-Well Positive Pressure Solid Phase Extraction Workstation

The Tecan Resolvex A200 96 ppSPE Workstation is a fully automated positive pressure Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) system designed for high-throughput sample purification and analyte enrichment. It employs programmable pressure profiles (0–5 bar) and an automated 8-channel dispensing head capable of handling up to 11 solvents, enabling precise and consistent sample processing essential in clinical diagnostics, biotechnology, and pharmaceutical research.

Key technical features include:

• Support for 96-well plates or framed 1 mL SPE columns, compatible with NBE, Cerex, and various third-party columns.
• Restricted-flow positive pressure manifold ensures uniform pressure application across all samples, enhancing reproducibility and recovery rates.
• Dual syringe pumps integrated with a motion-controlled eight-port dispense head allow automated solvent delivery and sample processing workflows.
• Automated column drying and controlled evaporation functions help improve analyte concentration and workflow efficiency.
• Robust operation suited for complex and dirty matrices such as serum, plasma, oral fluid, and urine samples widely used in molecular diagnostics, biopharmaceutical production, and environmental testing.
• Dimensions: 14.9” (378 mm) W x 21.3” (542 mm) D x 23.6” (600 mm) H; Weight: 38.3 kg (84 lbs).

Applications and relevance:

This positive pressure SPE workstation is critical in biotechnology workflows including therapeutic drug monitoring, drug screening, steroid analysis, and hormone quantification. It supports various SPE phases—Reversed Phase, Mixed-Mode (Anion/Cation Exchange), Strong/Weak Ion Exchange—making it versatile for bioprocessing, gene editing sample prep, synthetic biology research, and molecular cloning workflows. The system reduces solvent usage and automates complex sample preparations, optimizing biopharmaceutical production pipelines and increasing laboratory throughput.

Automation and integration:

The Resolvex A200 can be seamlessly paired with Tecan Fluent and Freedom EVO liquid handling platforms to expand automation capabilities, reducing manual intervention and errors in post-extraction processing, which is vital for consistent data generation in cell imaging and clinical chemistry research.
