Biotage® Extrahera™ Classic
Automated sample preparation workstation
Automates SPE, SLE, PLD and PPT sample prep workflows and parallel peptide purication. A versatile and cost-effective system for processing both plates and cartridges.
Explore the main benefits of Biotage® Extrahera™ Classic
Consistent and reliable results with positive pressure
Biotage® Extrahera™ Classic uses positive pressure for sample loading and elution, ensuring uniform flow control even with viscous samples. This leads to improved reproducibility, reduced cross-contamination, and higher recovery rates.
Smart solvent management and tip reuse
The system features five automatically fed solvent reservoirs with ultrasonic level detection, compatible with all common solvents. Intelligent tip reuse options help reduce waste and lower operating costs, making it more sustainable.
Flexible format options and safe operation
Switching between plate and cartridge formats takes just minutes, allowing labs to adapt quickly to different workflows. The enclosed design and integrated solvent vapor removal enhance safety.
High-throughput parallel peptide purification
The Biotage® Extrahera™ Classic significantly reduces time and solvent usage through a faster, greener and cost-effective parallel peptide purification process with Biotage® PeptiRen and Biotage® PeptiPEC plates.
User-friendly software with GLP capabilities
The integrated touchscreen interface simplifies method setup for all users. Optional GLP software adds audit trails and user access control, supporting compliance in regulated environments.
