ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for practicing solid phase extraction of samples for analysis where the method comprises the steps of providing a cassette having a plurality of tubes, each containing an absorbent substrate and having an upper and a lower opening; applying a preconditioning liquid reagent to each tube of the cassette through the upper opening to render the substrate therein hydrophilic and drawing the liquid through the substrate until the liquid is at a predetermined height about the substrate; applying a liquid sample to be analyzed to each of the tubes of the cassette and drawing the sample through the substrate until the liquid is at a predetermined height in the tube with respect to the substrate; applying an eluate to each tube of the cassette to remove an eluent therefrom; and collecting the eluents from the cassette tubes. The apparatus automates this process and provides accurate and rapid separation of compounds in the sample. The process provides the further step of washing the substrate before addition of the eluate, if necessary, and optional drying of the substrate as well as addition of a second eluate to separate a second eluent if desired.
