Porvair Sciences has introduced Microlute SLE 96-well plates and cartridges to enable quick and easy extraction a wide range of acidic, basic and neutral analytes from samples with greater reproducibility.
Designed to provide a superior method of liquid extraction, Microlute SLE products use selectively sourced diatomaceous earth (DE) as the solid support to maximise absorption of the aqueous solvent – enabling greater and simpler separation and elution of organic analytes from biological samples such as plasma and serum and aqueous solutions.
With no inversions, shaking or tedious pipetting required the range is designed to overcome sample handling issues commonly associated with traditional liquid-liquid extraction (LLE). As a result, products deliver significantly improved reliability, precision, automation compatibility and efficient clean-up of samples for chromatography without risks of contamination and time-consuming solvent transfers.
Microlute SLE is also designed to be lab friendly, using significantly less solvent and glassware compared to liquid-liquid extraction protocols. It incorporates the 'Diatomaceous Earth Sandwich', in which the separating media is uniformly packed between two inert porous filters to provide a robust solid system for supported liquid extraction.
Porvair Sciences has written a protocol to enable the use of Microlute SLE for the best results in applications such as in forensics, pharmaceutical, drug discovery and clinical diagnostics. Find out more HERE.
