UCT Clean Screen FASt Filter and Shoot SPE columns
Clean Screen FASt™ employs a process that uses positive pressure and a solid phase sorbent bed built with small pore frits to quickly and efficienctly prepare samples for LC/MS analysis. This method eliminates the timely centrifugation, reduces matrix suppression effects and removes particulates greater that ~ 1um. Samples can be diluted at a ratio as low as 1:1, which is useful for analytes at very low concentrations......click here to read more.

Zero Blank cartridge from UCT
The Zero-Blank cartridge is an air filter that contains multiple proprietary adsorbent materials. The Zero-Blank forms an air tight seal when attached to the top of an SPE cartridge. Lab air is forced through the Zero-Blank during the sorbent drying step, removing contaminants. The Zero-Blank cartridge may be used in combination with most solid-phase sorbent cartridges made by UCT…click here to read more.

 

 

 

Captiva Non Drip Filter Plates from Agilent
Captiva ND is a Non-Drip, fully automatable filter plate for protein precipitation.  Used widely in pharmaceutical bioanalysis of small molecules, protein precipitation is a quick, low cost way to prepare plasma samples for LC/MS.  This technique is growing in popularity as pharmaceutical companies seek ways to reduce the cost of bioanalysis, yet maintain sample throughput....click here to read more.
