Empore Disks

Sterlitech carries a wide assortment of Empore SPE disks featuring Empore SPE membrane technology, which seamlessly incorporates solid phase sorbent particles within a network of polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibrils.
From Empore C18 and C8 disks, Anion exchange disks, carbon disks and Empore cation exchange disks, to chelating disks, oil & grease disks, Empore SDP-RPS disks and SDP-SC disks, labs consistently rely on Empore SPE membranes for their time-saving and money-saving attributes, as well as for their sample throughput.
Empore SPE membranes also offer the following features and benefits:
- 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 cartridges and Empore plates
Our Empore Disks Selection
Empore™ Disks, C18, C8
Sterlitech’s Empore C18 and C8 bonded silica SPE disks are commonly used for the solid phase extraction of analytes from complex sample matrices.
Empore™ Disks, Anion Exchange-SR
Sterlitech’s Empore anion exchange-SR SPE disks are ion-exchange extraction disks made from a polystyrenedivinylbenzene copolymer that has been modified with quaternary ammonium groups.
Empore™ Disks, Carbon
Designed for the extraction of volatile, highly polar, and water soluble compounds from aqueous solutions.
Empore™ Disks, Cation Exchange-SR
Sterlitech’s Empore cation exchange-SR SPE disks are ion-exchange extraction disks made from a polystyrenedivinylbenzene copolymer that has been modified with sulfonic acid.
Empore™ Disks, Chelating
Empore™ chelating disks are ion-exchange extraction disks that allow for the selective removal of multivalent metal cations from solutions.
Empore™ Disks, Oil & Grease
Designed for EPA Method 1664 (N-Hexane Extractable Materials (HEM) and Silica Gel Treated N-Hexane Extractable Material (SGT-HEM) by Extraction and Gravimetry).
Empore™ Disks, SDB-RPS
Sterlitech’s Empore SDB-RPS disks are mixed phase extraction disks made from a polystyrenedivinylbenzene copolymer that has been modified with sulfonic acid groups to make them hydrophilic.
Empore™ Disks, SDB-XC
Sterlitech’s Empore SDB-XC solid phase extraction disks are reversed phase extraction disks made from a polystyrenedivinylbenzene copolymer.
Empore™ Disks, Filter Aid
Empore Filter Aid 400 is a high-density glass bead product intended for use as a filtration aid for chromatography.
