SiliaPrep SPE Cartridges, C18 (17%), 40 - 63 µm, 60 Å (SPE-R00230B)
SiliaPrep C18 (17%) is a strongly hydrophobic and non polar sorbent. It is very useful for the extraction of acidic / neutral / basic compounds from aqueous solutions, organic compounds from water and drugs & metabolites from fluids.
