Trending in analytical chemistry – Latest applications of solid phase extraction
From cannabis testing to environmental monitoring, find out how scientists are using SPE to speed up and innovate their sample preparation
3 Sept 2019
Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is a sample preparation method that separates and concentrates analytes from solution prior to analysis. SPE is a rapid method that can be automated for the effective isolation of analytes of interest from even the most complex matrices. The technique can be applied to a variety of samples including urine, blood, water, beverages, soil, and animal tissue. In this article, we cover the latest and greatest applications for solid-phase extraction.
Environmental monitoring
