In Episode 4, we show how LabSentry AI detects a sustained drop in plunger push speed and how PromoChrom Pilot guides recovery. You can decrease push flow and retry or isolate the channel and continue. Every action is recorded in the Timeline and optional notifications keep your team in the loop. 

The SPE-03 continues to develop through real-world insights from the labs that rely on it. At PromoChrom, customer feedback contributes directly to how the system evolves over time. Through ongoing support conversations and follow-up interactions, we gather real-world insight into practical workflows and the evolving needs of environmental testing. 

In Episode 3, we show what happens when loading finishes before the preset volume due to variability between field samples. LabSentry AI detects the early completion, and PromoChrom Pilot advances the SPE-03 to the next step and logs the event.

After extraction, droplets left on bottle walls can dilute the elution solvent, lower analyte recovery, and affect consistency across runs. For compounds that tend to stick to surfaces, even a small amount of leftover water can compromise data quality and reliability. The SPE-03 addresses this challenge with automated rinsing and shaking, designed to remove residual liquid and ensure complete analyte transfer.

You’ll see LabSentry AI detects the incomplete sample loading, while PromoChrom Pilot executes a smooth automatic mitigation with additional strokes until the syringe is fully emptied—allowing the run to continue seamlessly with full traceability.

The SPE-03's de-clogging function can be applied at user-defined intervals, or in real-time through LabSentry AI - by clearing clogs mid-run, workflows and results can be sustained across more challenging samples.consistent results for years and the pumping system around it now unlocks a new Smart Automation — AI powered control and predictive intelligence augmenting the mature liquid handling system.
