Microlute CSi – a novel composite silica technology

Traditional loose packed solid phase extraction (SPE) plates often have issues like inconsistent resin mass and voiding, leading to reduced recovery and reproducibility. Porvair Sciences evaluates the effectiveness of Microlute^® CSi, a novel composite silica technology, for SPE in chromatographic analysis. Further, a study compares the performance of a C18 10 mg loose packed plate with a C18 10 mg composite plate (Microlute^® CSi) using a range of compounds. Results show that the Microlute^® CSi plate offers better recovery and reproducibility due to its consistent bed weights and optimal liquid flow, overcoming common issues associated with traditional loose packed products.
