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.

Enviro-Clean 500mg/6mL cartridge PSDVB w/Polyethylene frits. It is used with EPA Methods 526, 527, 528, 529 and 8330.

Select pH Buffer Pouches - UCT has developed a line of premeasured “ready-to-use” phosphate and acetate buffer pouches. These pouches contain the correct quantity of reagent to quickly and accurately prepare buffers at the correct pH and concentration to simplify solid-phase extraction methods.

Styre Screen® Extraction Columns contain an ultra clean, highly cross-linked styrene and divinylbenzene copolymer. The Styre Screen particles have an average particle size of 30 microns and a very high analyte capacity making them ideal for standard solid phase extraction applications. The increased analyte capacity means that less sorbent bed mass is needed which results in faster flow rates and less solvent use. Higher th…

XtrackT® columns are gravity-flow SPE columns that allow for extraction of acids, neutrals, bases in viscous samples such as equine urine, post-mortem blood and tissues, amniotic fluid, and meconium.

The Universal Vacuum Manifold system accommodates 24, 48 and 96 well plate configurations. This system includes a collection plate, extraction plate, manifold and vacuum gauge waste base for all wellplates.

Universal C18 - Enviro-Clean SPE Cartirdges Enviro-Clean® cartridges are designed for use by analysts that demand a clean, dependable and rugged product for low level environmental analyses. Universal C18 is used for the extraction of pesticides, herbicides and PCBs, etc.Part # ECUNIC18

These sorbents are composed of a silica backbone bonded with hydrocarbon chains. They are used to extract compounds, which exhibit non-polar or neutral characteristics, from complex matrices. The C18 phase is the most popular phase.  UCT offers a range of hydrocarbon chain lengths from C2 to C30. In addition, we offer isobutyl, tertbutyl, phenyl, and cyclohexyl bonded phases.

Compounds are retained on hydrophilic sorbents through polar interactions including hydrogen bonding, pi-pi or dipole-dipole interaction.  Compounds typically extracted on a hydrophilic column include analytes which have polar groups, including amines, hydroxyls and carbonyls. Elution is performed by strong polar solvents. For these types of extractions UCT offers various types of base silica, Florisil®, Alumina's, cyanopropy…

This sorbent is composed of a silica backbone bonded with a carbon chain terminated by a negatively or positively charged functional group. Ion exchange interactions occur between a sorbent that carries a charge and a compound of opposite charge. This electrostatic interaction is reversible by neutralizing the sorbent and /or analyte. Ion exchange bonds can also be disrupted by introduction of a “counter ion” to compete with…

The same clean polypropylene tubes we use in our own column assemblies are available as an empty tube. Available in 1mL through 150mL tube sizes. The flange on the lip means the columns are suitable for use with UCT's positive pressure manifold as well as with vacuum manifold systems.

Complete Vacuum Manifold System includes a glass block, Corian® manifold lid, a cover gasket, a vacuum gauge and valve assembly, teflon tips (16 or 24), an adjustable collection rack, bulkhead luer fittings, plugs (16 or 24), and manifold safety tray.

Stainless Steel Manifold -available in single, 3 and 6 station designs. The 3 and 6 multi-station manifolds allow the simultaneous processing of multiple samples.

CLEAN SCREEN FASt THC is the newest sorbent in our FASt product lineup. It employs a process that uses positive pressure and a solid phase sorbent bed built with small pore frits to quickly and efficiently prepare urine samples for LC/MS analysis. This method eliminates timely centrifugation, reduces matrix suppression effects, and removes particulates greater than ~1μm. Samples can be diluted at a ratio as low as 1:1, which i…

The CLEAN SCREEN® THC column is copolymerized on a rigid, purified silica gel support. The two functional groups include a reverse phase, and an ion exchanger, primary amine. This column is commonly used for analyzing THC and its metabolites. It has dual functionality for acids and hydrophobic compounds.

Clean Screen® GHB is a patented mixed-mode column designed for the filtration extraction of ethylene glycol, butan diol, gamma hydroxy butyrate and butyrolactone.

Clean Screen® ETG is a proprietary carbon blend column designed for the extraction of ethyl-glucuronide from urine.  Extracts are suitable for either GC/MS or LC/MS analysis.
