Flexible Configuration and Combination

The FREESTYLE modules can be individually combined and retrofitted. The user obtains the opportunity to adapt the FREESTYLE to the changing requirements of his everyday work, and the system can be upgraded to cater for newly required functions at any time.

If different modules are installed, e.g. the SPE module together with the EVAporation module, these functions can be used individually or in combination. The required function is determined exclusively through method selection in the software.

Methods are saved, and can be called up at any time or mixed in sample lists. There is no need for any mechanical changes or conversions.

The FREESTYLE BASIC consists of a xyz-robot including injection pump, sample loop, solvent distribution and double-walled needle.

The FREESTYLE system can be equipped with the necessary modules suitable for the intended purpose.


GPC Module

Sample clean-up via GPC (gel permeation chromatography) is used for all samples in the analysis of residues and contaminants and is therefore universally applicable.

Gel Permeation Chromatography (GPC) for oil removal (clean-up) in samples containing more than 3% oil.

The FREESTYLE GPC is a fully automated chromatographic sample preparation system, that is used for example for clean-up of food, feed and environmental samples. It complies in all areas with the requirements of general methods, e.g. L 00.00-34, EPA 3640A.

EVAporation Module

The FREESTYLE system with EVAporation module concentrates all types of organic solvents around the clock to a precise end volume between 5.0 mL and 0.2 mL, optional with solvent exchange. The end volume can be selected individually for each sample. 

SPE Module

See the video to see the FREESTYLE SPE in motion;

HPLC Direct Injection Module

For direct injection to LC systems. The sample preparation is done via the SPE module (Solid Phase Extraction), via the SPE module with online EVAporation or via the GPC module  (Gel Permeation Chromatography) and the EVAporation module. The HPLC Direct Injection module can also be used after a solvent exchange with the EVAporation module.

ThermELUTE Module

FREESTYLE ThermELUTE™ allows complete automation of sample preparation and analysis of Aflatoxins B1, B2, G1, G2 and M1 as well as Ochratoxin A and Zearalenone in all regulated matrices.

Freestyle XANA

In water analysis large-volume or particulate-laden samples often have to be handled. The robotic system FREESTYLE XANA has been specifically developed for sample preparation of large-volume water samples, for example of drinking water, raw water or river water. 

With a positive pressure of up to 4 bar during loading, samples with suspended matter in many cases can also be pushed through the SPE columns. Without the need for supervision, the system processes samples reliably over 24 hours and 7 days / week through all stages beginning with the raw sample up to filling into GC vials.

• Developed for unattended 24/7 operation
• 24 samples are loaded in groups of 3 for sequential throughput
• Use of 3 mL and 6 mL SPE columns made of polypropylene with MACHEREY-NAGEL closures
• Liquid and pressure tight up to 4 bar
• Free adjustable flow rates of 0.1 – 30 mL/min
• Drying with pre-set nitrogen pressure
• Up to 8 solvents selectable for conditioning and washing
