We know that compounds can be acidic, basic, and neutral. Looking at pKas and functional groups can help us understand the best approach and steps for SPE selection and workflow. Let’s look at the com...
Understanding the properties of different SPE sorbents can be confusing, refer to selecting sorbent chemistries for a refresher. But what happens at each step of these different SPE sorbents specifica...
When choosing the stationary phase for SPE understanding the functionality of your target molecule is of critical importance. In order to select the correct SPE chemistry we need to understand how fun...
Automated sample prep helps your lab to run more smoothly. Sample prep is often seen as a painful process that is time-consuming, laborious, complex, error-prone, and costly. But efficient sample prep...
Underloading your SLE+ samples can result in better partitioning and cleaner samples. Supported liquid extraction (SLE) is a simple clean-up technique similar to liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), but on...
One of the hottest, yet most neglected topics in sample preparation is evaporation. Most chromatographic methods require some form of sample cleanup prior to injection into a HPLC or GC system to prev...
Analytical laboratories using techniques such as LC-MS/MS or GC-MS are continuously searching for ways to increase throughput, reduce turnaround times and lower costs. Sample prep is often an underest...
Meeting throughput- and efficiency targets in the analytical laboratory working in a Good Laboratory Practices (GLP) environment involves a constant hunt for new ways to improve workflows and sample q...
Do you have a small to medium size analytical lab and are reaching the limit of what you can achieve with manual sample prep? Perhaps you need more robust sample prep with higher efficiency, less hand...
We’ve all heard about Synthetic Opioids and how frequently they’re being abused, creating an Opioid Epidemic. What many of us aren’t hearing about are other synthetic compounds that are out there. Syn...
