Devices, and methods of use thereof, receivable by autosamplers for
processing fluids contains suspended solids and solubles in, for example,
solid phase extraction, include an inlet chamber in fluid communication
with an outlet chamber through an integral fluid pathway. One or more
autosampler needle(s) may inject the fluid into the inlet chamber, which
contains a separation medium through which the injected fluid flows prior
to flowing into the outlet chamber, from which fluid may be withdrawn by
the autosampler needle(s). A pressure tight seal may be formed between
the needle(s) and inlet chamber, and backflow is preventable from the
outlet chamber to the inlet chamber. Numerous embodiments of the device
are described, including well plate configurations and structures
graspable by autosampler robotic devices and/or which may be held in
autosampler trays.
