Extraction of a Full Suite of Semivolatile Compounds from Drinking Water using Automated Solid Phase Extraction
21 Jun 2017Countries around the world have put regulations in place to monitor drinking water quality for a wide range of hazardous compounds, for example EPA Method 525.2. This application note details a study in which the SPE-DEX® 5000 was used to extract the EPA Method 525.2 analytes from six prepared water samples. It was found that the SPE-DEX® 5000 system provided uniform performance and a hands-off approach to the extraction step and gave high reproducibility and precision, demonstrating the utility of solid phase extraction.

Solid-Phase ExtractionSolid-phase extraction (SPE) is used for clean-up, extraction and concentration of semi-volatile or non-volatile analytes from complex mixtures including blood, urine and food samples. Multiple formats are available for conducting SPE, including prepacked SPE cartridges, disks and microplates, as well as SPE sorbent powders for manual packing. SPE systems can be used to automate the process and extract multiple samples at once. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and supported liquid extraction (SLE) products are also available in the same formats.
