Supelco® Overcoated (OC) SPME Fibers
MerckThe over coating of fibers is a new technology in fiber coating to protect the SPME fiber from matrix components. This allows for immersion of the fiber directly into complex samples ensuring a more efficient extraction (e.g. of semivolatile compounds). Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is used to overcoat a PDMS/divinylbenzene (DVB) fiber. The resulting fiber is more physically robust and resistant to chemical fouling and allows f…
