SiliaPrep^™ & SiliaPrepX^™ SPE Cartridges & Well Plates

Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is a technique designed for rapid sample preparation and purification prior to chromatographic analysis. You can optimize your SPE protocols by using SiliCycle silica-based SiliaPrep™ or polymeric SiliaPrepX™.

We offer 3 different formats:

• standard cartridges, ranging from 1 mL to 25 mL with bed weights from 30 mg to 5 g
• 48 and 96 well-plates in 1 mL and 2 mL
• mini-SPE cartridges, used with a syringe, packed with 500 mg to 1 g of sorbent

All the usual reversed-phases, normal phases and ion-exchange phases sorbents are available from SiliCycle, but we also offer specialty phases for your more challenging projects.

The QuEChERS technique was developed in 2003 by USDA scientists to simplify and accelerate the analysis of pesticides in various fruit and vegetable samples. The name QuEChERS is formed by an acronym of the properties that are observed with this technique: Quick, Easy, Cheap Effective, Rugged and Safe.

Using SiliaQuick QuEChERS ensures the following benefits:

• Clean extracts from pure products.
• High recovery and lot-to-lot reproducibility.
• Great variety of QuEChERS to cover the full spectrum of food applications.
• Reduction of analysis cost.

FaPEx stands for "Fast Pesticide Extraction". It's a fast extraction/clean-up technique for pesticide residue analysis.
SiliaFast cartridges offer a simple & easy, cost effective extraction step that precedes the LC/MS/MS or GC/MS/MS analysis.
