Solid phase extraction (SPE) is one of the most used techniques in sample preparation. It is replacing the conventional time-consuming liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) method. The process of SPE is a miniature version of liquid column chromatography. SPE, utilizing the same type of stationary phases as used in liquid chromatography columns, are practiced in different mechanisms including normal phase, reversed phase, ion-exchange, affinity chromatography and mixed-mode in the fields of agricultural and food, bio-analytical, environmental and forensic applications. Bonna-Agela as a leader of chromatographic media products offers a variety of polymer and silica based SPE products.
Food contamination by phthalates has caused considerable hazard to food safety. The most popular used plasticizers are phthalates series, which may cause cancer. Bonna- Aglea provides Cleanert PAE and DEHP to analyze phthalates in different matrices including food containing fats and oil, and aqueous samples.

More informationA simple and fast method of solid phase extraction (SPE) disk for the determination of trace acrylamide was developed. Using this new technique along with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultraviolet spectroscopy (UV) detection, the feasibility of SPE disk method for rapid enrichment was demonstrated in the determination of trace acrylamide in 500 mL tap water. Active carbon was chosen as the adsorbent to be incorporated into the SPE disk as it gave the best adsorption efficiency.
