ePrep Analytical | New cooperation

We are thrilled to announce our new partnership with ePrep Analytical, a pioneer in laboratory automation. The team behind ePrep brings over 60 years of innovation to the field of analytical chemistry bringing a new era of precision and efficiency to chromatography laboratories.

Solving the Sample Preparation Challenge
In modern analytical chemistry, while instruments have become increasingly sensitive, sample preparation has remained the “weak link“. Statistics show that sample processing accounts for 61% of total analysis time and is responsible for 30% of analytical errors. Most labs still rely on manual methods that are labor-intensive, costly, and prone to human error.

The ePrep ONE: Innovation at the Bench
ePrep ONE is a dedicated off-line robotic workstation designed specifically to address these bottlenecks. Unlike traditional pipetting systems that often struggle with organic solvents or complex workflows, the ePrep ONE utilizes Analytical Syringe technology. This ensures unmatched precision and accuracy (RSD <0.5%) even at sub-10µL volumes.

Empowering Specialized Markets
Whether in Pharmaceutical, Environmental, or Food safety labs, the ePrep ONE offers transformative value:
Pharmaceutical: Full 21 CFR Part 11 compliance ensures data integrity and a complete audit trail for regulatory peace of mind.
Environmental: Specialized workflows for PFAS in soils and automated cleanup via SPE cartridges reduce the risk of rework in high-stakes testing.
Green Lab Initiatives: Because analytical syringes are more precise, labs can scale down preparation volumes, reducing solvent usage and waste by up to 100 times in some applications.

A Future-Proof Investment
The ePrep ONE isn’t just about automation; it’s about optimizing your most valuable resource—your people. By letting the robot handle repetitive, low-value tasks, your scientists can focus on data interpretation and high-level decision-making. With an typical ROI that pays for itself within 1 to 3 years, it is the ultimate upgrade for the next-generation laboratory.
