EASY EXTRACTION AND SEPARATION

Unique principle based on a hydrophobic or hydrophilic surface treatment of capillary orifice sharply separates immiscible liquids and enables parallel processing of samples using Liquid-Liquid extraction. The absence of a frit or membrane prevents analyte retention.

Cleavage Liquid-Liquid Extraction Insert

Main unit - cleavage insert contains the sample and features a U-shaped bottom with ultra-fine orifice.

Capillary orifice is chemically treated to be hydrophilic or hydrophobic, allowing selective flow of desired phase.

Second unit - microtube is designed to collect the separated phase.

Why cllevert?

Preserves the entire sample without irreversible loss

Preserves the entire sample without irreversible loss

CLLEVERT does not include any filters, frits, membranes, or sorbent layers that could restrict
flow or cause sample loss.

Suitable for millions
of samples worldwide

The liquid–liquid extraction market is projected to grow significantly.

Liquid–liquid extraction method is often replaced by Solid Phase Extraction (SPE). However, the SPE columns suffer from high dead volumes in frits and sorbents, causing analyte loss and requiring multiple solvent-intensive steps. On the other hand, the current Liquid–liquid extraction techniques are labor-intensive, largely manual, and difficult to automate. To address these issues, we developed CLLEVERT (Cleavage Liquid–Liquid Extraction Insert), a patented device and method for pre-analytical sample preparation that combines the advantages of SPE and liquid–liquid extraction. The market is projected to expand from USD 450 million to USD 846 million (2023-2033, SPE)[1], and from USD 2.8 billion to USD 4.5 billion (2023-2032, liquid–liquid extraction)[2].
