The latest addition to UCT’s QuEChERS line puts a new “spin” on dSPE. SpinFiltr™ combines the practice of conventional dSPE with the added benefit of ultrafiltration. UCT’s new format of dSPE salts paired with a 0.2µm filtration device, simultaneously removes unwanted matrix compounds and filters samples without the need for any additional steps. With traditional dSPE, analysts must pay close attention when removing t…

QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) is a sample extraction and clean-up technique used for the analysis of multiple pesticide residues in agricultural products. UCT manufactures a wide variety of pre-filled tubes and reagent pouches for all QuEChERS method variations including PSA, C18, buffers, anh. MgSO4, NaCl, ChloroFiltr, and carbon.

The FASt Well Plate is a novel approach to improved sample preparation for LC/MS analysis. The well plate employs a one step process to prepare urine samples for analysis of multiple drugs and metabolites. By quickly and efficiently reducing the amount of unwanted matrix and particulates in the final sample, the analysis can proceed with less chance of matrix suppression and LC column clogging.

High purity, Type B, spherical silica support. 100A pore size. 1.8um, 3um, & 5um partical sizes. Variety of stationary phases.

The QuEChERS Clean-up step is rapidly completed using the QuICK QuEChERS cartridge. This self-contained cartridge contains 110 mg of anhydrous MgSO4 and 180 mg of PSA. Placed on the end of a disposable syringe, the QuEChERS extract is pushed through directly into a sample vial for analysis. Clean-up is equivalent to dSPE clean-up, but faster and easier, eliminating the need for centrifugation.

Pre-packed 6 ml anion exchange SPE cartridges are made to the exact specification of EPA Method 548 to assure high capture efficiency and consistent results for excellent analytical reproducibility.

Airborne laboratory contamination may interfere with solid-phase extraction results. This problem is easily prevented by using the Zero-Blank filter. Using an adaptor (included), this cartridge is fitted on top of the SPE cartridge during the drying step and captures potential contamination making results more accurate.

Clean, activated, and ready-for-use, 30 mesh copper granules remove unwanted elemental sulfur from pesticide and PCB extracts. Granules are much easier to use than copper powder or TBA and eliminate the need for toxic mercury.

Chlorophyll in QuEChERS extracts must be removed to reduce potential instrument downtime. This is removed from extracts using graphitized carbon black (GCB) Unfortunately, GCB also removes planar analytes reducing analytical accuracy. ChloroFiltr®, used in place of GCB in dSPE tubes, removes unwanted chlorophyll without removing pesticides or environmental analytes. No change in procedure are required.

When clean plastic cartridges are not clean enough. 6 mL glass SPE cartridges can be packed with your choice of UCT sorbent using PTFE frits and individually sealed in certified Mylar for purity.
