The revolution of microelution in solid phase extraction
October 15, 2020 at 9:04 AM / by Nigel Tooke
Solid phase extraction (SPE) is frequently used for sample clean up, trace enrichment (pre-concentration of the sample), or a combination of both prior to analysis. But can solid phase extraction be an effective tool when bioanalysis demands higher sensitivity and reproducibility with decreasing sample volumes? In theory, SPE can be used for targeted extractions with ultra-high concentrations. As we will see, putting this into practice requires miniaturization of SPE extraction using sorbent beds with optimal formats that minimize elution volume to maximize detection and quantitation power.
How to meet demands for detection limits with the right sample prep

Highly sensitive techniques such as LC-MS/MS are enabling analytical laboratories to generate more data on more analytes in more samples, in less time, at a lower cost, and using smaller sample volumes. Achieving this performance involves pushing the limits of detection and quantitation with high levels of sensitivity and reproducibility that are only possible with high quality samples.

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 is a critical step that is required to supply high performance analytical equipment with the best possible input to routinely generate high quality data output.
