SPE - What Can You Learn in 5 Minutes?
This quick guide focusses on the three main parameters to optimize in SPE, which are the choice of column sorbent, the choice of wash solvent, and the choice of eluting solvent.
SPE Overview
This module introduces the terminology associated with solid phase extraction (SPE). It explains the chemistry and physical properties associated with SPE sorbents and substrates, the different steps in a solid phase extraction protocol, sorbent selection, eluent solvent strength optimization, and the use of pH and ionic additives to control selectivity in SPE.
