The Empore solid phase extraction (SPE) membrane technology used by our Empore well plates integrates solid phase sorbent particles within a network of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibrils.
Sterlitech carries a wide array of Empore SPE 96 well plates, including:
- Empore silica sorbent well plates like the C8-SD and C18-SD plate models;
- Empore mixed phase chemistry (MPC-SD) well plates;
- Empore universal resin (UR) sorbent well plates; and
- An assortment of custom made Empore 96 well plate accessories.
The Empore SPE membranes found inside all of our Empore solid phase extraction (SPE) well plates also feature:
- Fast sample flow rates - as the mass transfer kinetics of the tightly packed particles allow recoveries that are independent of sample flow rate
- Reduced solvent usage compared to liquid-liquid extraction and traditional packed particle SPE products
- Clean eluates - the PTFE fibrils minimize fine particles, extending column life
- Potential elimination of solvent evaporation/reconstitution steps with Empore SPE cartridges and Empore 96 plates
