Polymeric SPE Options

The volume of solvent needed for the wash and elution steps is directly related to the mass of sorbent in the SPE tube and more specifically the “bed volume” of the SPE device. Typically 4 – 16 bed volumes are used in SPE methods.

% Absolute Recovery for Diclofenac

Spiked Concentration Diclofenac
SPE 15 μg/mL 86 % (n=4)
LLE 15 μg/mL 46 % (n=4)

Diclofenac spiked plasma sample (50 μg/mL) after extraction with Strata™-X. Flurbiprofen (IS) was added post-extraction at a concentration of 160 μg/mL. Note: the flurbiprofen was added post blow down, which is also post-extraction.
