SPUR-2005 Sample Prep Universal Router was designed specifically to provide a dynamic platform for pre-concentration and routing of target solutes for subsequent analysis. It can serve as a sample preparation tool for an analytical instrument such as a mass or NMR spectrometer or as a connection tool between instruments where there exists a dissimilarity in system parameters including, but not limited to: flowrate, time-scale, solute concentration, solute content or solvent composition.  SPUR is scalable--larger chambers allow preparation of more material as needed.
