Abstract

See full text

Disclosed is an apparatus for automatically extracting i2,6-diisopropylphenol (Propofol), from a complex sample matrix comprising cellular material, e.g. blood, the apparatus comprising a sample reception stage having on output for providing a defined quantity of the complex sample matrix; a mixing stage having a first input in fluidic connection with the output of the sample reception stage, a second input for receiving a lysing agent and an output for providing a mixture of the defined quantity of the complex sample matrix and the lysing agent; a delay stage having an input in fluidic connection with the output of the mixing stage and an output for providing the delayed mixture of the defined quantity of the complex sample matrix and the lysing agent; a filtering stage comprising a sorbent material for mechanically lysing the cellular material, said sorbent material having an affinity for binding Propofol, said filtering stage having an input in fluidic connection with the output of the delay stage; and a controller for controlling the flow rate of the mixture of the defined quantity of the complex sample matrix and the lysing agent through said delay stage. A method for such extraction is also disclosed.
