Highlighted Applications

Aminoglycoside Antibiotics in Chicken

Efficient clean up to minimize matrix effects is important when measuring aminoglycoside antibiotic residues in complex samples such as chicken meat by LC-MS/MS. This application note describes a simple SPE method to clean up the samples delivering sensitive, precise results.

Growth Promoters in Animal Urine

Efficiently extract a range of growth promoters - steroids, resorcylic acid lactones and stilbenes - from animal (bovine, porcine, ovine and equine) urine samples with LOQ <0.4 ng/mL. Methods optimized for low or high throughput requirements are detailed.

Application Note Finder

Biotage offer a wide range of optimized application notes and our new Application Notes Finder is under construction. In the meantime, don't hesitate to contact us. Our team of application specialists is here to support you!

How do I come up with a starting point for my SPE method?

You've just decided to develop a solid phase extraction method for a new assay in your lab. However, there are so many decisions to be made! Which product to use? Polymer based sorbent or silica based? Cation or anion exchange? While this seems incredibly difficult, it doesn't have to be that hard!

QuickStart Guide to SPE

The versatility of SPE allows it to be used for a variety of purposes.

Automating Sample Preparation. Why not?

Faster turnaround times and the need to reduce costs, and suddenly sample preparation isn’t quite so straightforward.
