Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) is an innovative, solvent free technology that is fast, economical, and versatile. SPME is a fiber coated with a liquid (polymer), a solid (sorbent), or a combination of both. The fiber coating removes the compounds from your sample by absorption in the case of liquid coatings or adsorbtion in the case of solid coatings.   The SPME fiber is then inserted directly into the Gas Chromatograph for desorption and analysis. SPME has gained wide spread acceptance as the technique of preference for many applications including flavors and fragrances, forensics and toxicology, environmental and biological matrices, and product testing to name a few. We have developed an Applications Guide listing applications that have been published on the use of SPME. To request a copy of the SPME Applications CD, click here.
