Multi-steroid extraction from saliva or serum using positive pressure SPE

Tecan
11 Sept 2019

In this application note, Tecan describes an automated workflow for high efficiency extraction of multiple steroids using the Resolvex A200 in combination with Tecan’s Narrow Bore Extraction™ (NBE™) microparticulate columns. This set-up is integrated into a Freedom EVO® liquid handling platform to allow complete automation of the extraction method – including aliquoting of samples, standards and buffers – and is intended to provide a generalized, proof of concept workflow that can be easily optimized for the analysis for other steroids or steroid-like compounds.

Solid-Phase ExtractionSolid-phase extraction (SPE) is used for clean-up, extraction and concentration of semi-volatile or non-volatile analytes from complex mixtures including blood, urine and food samples. Multiple formats are available for conducting SPE, including prepacked SPE cartridges, disks and microplates, as well as SPE sorbent powders for manual packing. SPE systems can be used to automate the process and extract multiple samples at once. Solid-phase microextraction (SPME) and supported liquid extraction (SLE) products are also available in the same formats.
