Empore Cartridges

Labs consistently rely upon Empore SPE membranes because of their time and money-saving attributes, not to mention their sample throughput. Sterlitech carries a wide assortment of Empore solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges featuring this Empore SPE membrane technology, including:

Silica sorbent cartridges like the Empore C8-HD, Empore C8-SD and Empore C18-SD cartridge models;
Empore reversed phase sorbent cartridges like the SDB-XC model; and
Enpore universal resin (UR) cartridges.

The Empore SPE membranes found inside all of our SPE cartridges 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 plates

Our Empore Cartridges Selection

Empore™ Cartridges, C8-HD

Functional groups, such as octyl (C8) and octadecyl (C18), can be bonded to the silica surface to provide non polar interactions.

Empore™ Cartridges, C8-SD, C18-SD

Each of these sorbents exhibits unique properties of retention and selectivity for a particular analyte.

Empore™ Cartridges, SDB-XC

SDB-XC is not bonded to silica but is a 100% copolymeric particle that is spherical, porous and cross-linked.

Empore™ Cartridges, UR (Universal Resin)

Sterlitech’s Empore universal resin (UR) solid phase extraction cartridges promote high retention of a wide range of analytes, thus reducing method development time and facilitating a generic approach to sample preparation.
