Tips for Developing Successful Solid Phase Extraction Methods

Contaminants in the sample matrix can create chromatography issues, system down time, and unreliable test results. There are many options for sample cleanup. The ultimate technique that provides the cleanest sample is Solid Phase Extraction (SPE). In addition to providing a clean sample, SPE can increase the concentration of analytes if needed.

In this talk, we will discuss tips for selecting, developing, and implementing simple and successful solid phase extraction methods.
