From microparticulate sorbents to affinity capture to TICE™ (Tecan Immobilized Coating Extraction), as well as various enrichment and clean-up techniques, our proprietary extraction technologies simplify a broad array of sample preparation workflows for MS applications.

Cleaner samples reduce ion suppression and the number of interfering peaks in LC-MS analysis. Our microparticulate sorbents contain extra small flow paths, ensuring the analyte molecules maintain contact with the sorbent as they pass through the sorbent bed. This enables the various components of the sample matrix – including salts, proteins, fatty acids and phospholipids – to be easily removed.

NBE and Cerex®

Narrow Bore Extraction columns

Our proprietary narrow bore extraction (NBE) technology enables a fundamental redesign of the SPE workflow, with clear improvements.

  • Novel air gap prevents sample flow until positive pressure is applied, allowing extended incubation steps in the column
  • 5x smaller elution volumes – micro-elution – enables direct injection into the MS instrument, eliminating evaporation steps
  • Narrower particle size distribution improves extraction efficiency
  • Reduced sample size means faster sample prep and more efficient workflows
  • Cleaner samples adding analytical column lifetime
