SPE cartridges

With the improvement of analysis level, in order to meet the requirements of sample pretreatment, SPE technology is obviously superior to traditional liquid-liquid extraction technology: convenient environmental protection, good reproducibility, time, labor and solvent saving, which has been widely used in organic synthesis, biology chemical, environmental, pharmacological, food, pharmaceutical, public inspection, import and export testing in all areas.

The various specifications of SPE cartridges provided by HAWACH are stable and reliable, suitable for different volume sample processing, and different specifications for easy method screening. SPE cartridges can also be processed according to customer needs.

Structure of SPE Cartridge

Hawach SPE cartridge is composed of several parts, including cartridge pipe, screen pipe, absorber, adapter, sample storage device and other supporting devices. Thereof syringe-shaped column pipe is a carrier of absorbents, made of learn grade polypropylene and provided with standardized dimensions or sizes, can be used in a multi-tube vacuum device. The screen pipe acts as a fixed absorbent and filter solution. The absorber is substances that play a role in separation. The adapter is used to connect the column pipe and column pipe, column pipe, and sample storage device.

Operation of SPE cartridge

There is some general operation process of SPE cartridge that should be followed, specific as follows: first, the activation process, adding appropriate solvents to expand the functional groups on the absorbent and remove the possible interfering substances on the adsorbent; then, retention process.

when the sample substance passes through the absorbents, and the absorbents act on some compounds more than the latter acts on the solvents, these compounds are fixed by the absorbents; and elution process, through the absorbent, the solvent with strong absorption capacity is allowed to break the force between the absorbent and the retained compound, so as to achieve the best separation effect.

SPE cartridge components

Frequently used solid phase extraction cartridges(SPE cartridge) are mostly polyethylene-based injection syringes, which is equipped with two pieces of polypropylene or glass fiber. The two pieces are filled with a certain amount of chromatographic adsorbent-packing. The upper end of the solid phase extraction cartridge is open, and the lower end is a liquid outlet, and the liquid is discharged from the outlet after passing through the adsorbent.

SPE cartridge volumes

According to the volume of space above the classical SPE cartridge packing, the specifications of the solid phase extraction cartridge can be divided into 1 ml, 3 ml, 6 ml, 10 ml, 15 ml, 20 ml, 30 ml, 60 ml, and the like. There are also special-sized SPE cartridges that are produced according to specific application requirements.

From the outside of the SPE cartridge, the classic SPE cartridge is similar to the injection syringe and is straight. Another solid phase extraction cartridge is funnel-shaped at the top, making it easier to load more samples at once in manual operation.
