Technology Description: | |
Solid Phase Micro Extraction (SPME) is a convenient, inexpensive, and time saving alternative to liquid extraction the traditional method used for extraction and concentration of analytes in a mixture. SPME does not require organic solvents. The coated fused silica fiber used in extraction is available in a variety of polarities for selective extract of chemical compounds. The variety of coatings provides the selectivity for extraction of analytes from different matrix systems. |

Performance Status/
Limitations: | |
Choice of SPME fiber coating is matched to the chemical nature of the analyte to be extracted. Successful extractions is dependent on choosing the right fiber coating or limited extraction will occur. |
