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.
CLLEVERT was designed in various modifications providing the option to select the best alternative compatible with your protocol.
The separation procedure works either under atmospheric pressure or by centrifugal force. Both variants provide complete and sharp separation within tens of seconds.
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].
