Solid Phase Extraction
Supel™-Select Polymeric SPE
|
|
|
HLB and Ion-Exchange phases for a wide range of applications and pH conditions
Supel-Select SPE phases are ideal for the solid phase extraction of a broad range of compounds from aqueous samples. While reversed-phase interactions dominate retention on the Supel-Select HLB, and the retention mechanisms of the Supel-Select SAX and SCX are predominately based on ion-exchange, the hydrophilic modifications of the styrene-based polymer backbone allow for retention and recovery of more polar compounds. |

| Feature |
Benefit |
| Hydrophilic modified styrene resin |
Extract and recover a broad range of analytes (polar to non-polar, acidic to basic) from aqueous samples |
| Method simplicity |
Save time, money, and frustration during method development |
| Greater capacity |
Allows for smaller bed weights = smaller elution volumes = time savings in sample processing |
| Resistant to overdrying |
More robust methodology and better reproducibility |
| Low UV and MS extractables |
Lower background for greater sensitivity |
| Stringent production & QC |
Greater lot-to-lot, tube-to-tube, and well-to-well consistency for improved accuracy and precision |
High and Reproducible Recoveries
The hydrophilic, lipophilic balanced Supel-Select HLB SPE allows users to extract a broad range of compounds using a single sorbent and generic methodology. Analyte recovery was high across all the compounds tested, and results were highly reproducible across three production lots.

Minimal Extractables
Supel-Select HLB SPE phases are quality controlled for both LC-UV and LC-MS/MS extractables. As assays require greater sensitivity, analytical “cleanliness” of both SPE phases and associated hardware becomes more critical.
In this simple test, acetonitrile was passed through both Supel-Select HLB SPE tubes and the leading competitor’s tubes followed by LC-UV analysis.
Supel-Select HLB SPE imparted less than 25% of UV extractables than the leading competitor. |
