Empore Plates

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
