Overview of SPE Cartridge Format Solid-phase extraction cartridges represent the traditional format that has been in use for over two decades. These syringe-barrel style devices typically contain sorbent masses ranging from 10 mg to 6 g, housed in plastic or glass barrels with polymer or steel frits. The cartridge format offers several distinct advantages for […]

Challenges in High-Throughput Analytical Testing High-throughput laboratories face significant challenges in maintaining analytical efficiency while processing large sample volumes. As noted in the literature, “sample preparation is the rate-limiting step for many analyses” (Simpson, 2000). With modern analytical instruments like LC-MS/MS operating with run times of just 2-3 minutes, laboratories often experience backlogs in sample
