Systems and methods for extracting analytes from a sample

A system for extracting an analyte from a sample, the system comprising:

• a reaction chamber comprising at least one reaction vessel that is configured to,
• receive the sample with a reaction solution,
• separate insoluble components from a reaction mixture, and
• dispense soluble components, including a dissolved analyte, from the at least one reaction vessel;
• and
• a purification chamber comprising at least one purification vessel configured to be positioned inside the purification chamber and further that is configured to,
• receive the soluble components, including the dissolved analyte, from the at least one reaction vessel,
• separate contaminants from the soluble components, and
• dispense a purified analyte from the at least one purification vessel.

A method for extracting an analyte from a sample, the method comprising the steps of:

• positioning a reaction vessel inside a reaction chamber and positioning a purification vessel inside a purification chamber;
• mixing the sample with a reaction solution in a reaction vessel to produce a reaction mixture;
• separating insoluble components from the reaction mixture;
• dispensing soluble components from the reaction mixture, wherein the soluble components include a dissolved analyte;
• receiving the soluble components into a purification vessel;
• separating contaminants from the soluble components;
• and
• dispensing a purified analyte of the soluble components from the purification vessel drain.
