SPE SOLUTIONS
 
Solid phase extraction (SPE) is proven method to extract, clean-up, and filter liquid matrices.  Here at United Chemists you will find everything you need to apply this technology to your current applications.  Our navigation utilizes drop down filters and categories to manage the large variety of choices (ever-present orange column on the right side of the website).
 
There are three major benefits of Solid Phase technology.  The most important benefit to most laboratories is money.  SPE materials and processes cut costs of solvents and supplies up to 4,000%!   The second most important benefit to most laboratories is time.  SPE materials make it possible to extract, clean-up and filter liquid samples in a fraction of time compared to older EPA, FDA and other regulatory methods.  The third, and arguably the most important benefit, is the fact that it greatly reduces the harmful effects of all laboratories across the world though solvent use reduction.  Learn more.
 
Our products are classified into logical groups and can always be found in the navigation bar on the right side of our website.  They are listed below with a general outline of what is contained within.
 
 
SPE Cartridges are the single most ubiquitous use of SPE materials.  The syringe barrel format has been virtually unchanged since its inception.   As you can see, we have modified this format slightly by adding bar codes to every cartridge.  This bar-coding system simplifies qa/qc measures while improving efficiency in ordering and result tracking.
 
Our materials; frits, blank cartridges, and media of packing, are made from the highest quality sources to insure that your separation and subsequent analyses are free of contaminants.  Our chromatography tested batches have noise free baselines and unparalleled efficiency.  Please use the navigation on the right to find a cartridge solution.
 
 
United Chemists’ QuEChERS (pronounced catcher) has gained broad acceptance in American and European Food and Drug Administrations.   As a result it has become the technology of choice for multi-residue pesticide analysis in food and agricultural products. QuEChERS advantages include: high recoveries, accurate results, high sample throughput and low solvent usage. 
 
Broadly speaking, there are used in a two-step process: extraction followed by clean up.  To find a solution to your specific application please visit our QuEChERS Page.
 
 
Many of our products are organized in method specific kits.  If you’re running an EPA, FDA, or other regulatory method, you will find out site very useful.  The Kits contain the SPE materials, easy to follow procedures, list of reagents, MSDS’s, and reference chromatography.
 
Each step, from the start of sample prep to the analytical instrument conditions, is spelled out in easy to understand instructions.
