Environmental Testing Laboratories

An environmental testing laboratory processes complex matrices such as soil, water, and sludge, where trace analytes must be extracted and purified before detection. Contaminants like pesticides, mycotoxins, and perfluorinated compounds require high recovery and minimal matrix in

Context

The Problem In This Sector

Pain Points

Low recovery of perfluorinated acids due to poor retention on weak anion exchange sorbents
Breakthrough of acidic compounds during SPE cleanup because of insufficient ion exchange capacity
Cell loss or damage in suspension cultures due to non-specific adhesion on untreated surfaces
Contamination from microbial invasion in culture flasks during long-term incubation
Inconsistent SPE column performance across batches leading to failed method validation

What This Sector Needs

SPE columns with high surface area and stable pH range for reliable extraction of polar and non-polar analytes
Mixed-mode sorbents that retain both acidic and basic compounds without requiring multiple steps
Cell culture flasks with hydrophilic surfaces for adherent cell attachment and non-adherent surfaces for suspension cultures
Sterile, non-pyrogenic, DNase/Rnase free flasks for sensitive biological assays
Consistent column bed density and particle size to ensure reproducible recovery and low variability

Where It Is Used

Typical Application Scenarios

Extraction of perfluorinated carboxylic acids from environmental water samples using WAX SPE columns
Cleanup of veterinary drug residues in animal tissue using MCX columns for basic compounds
Isolation of pesticide metabolites from soil extracts using MAX columns for acidic analytes
Culture of microbial strains in environmental samples using vented flasks with hydrophobic caps
Long-term incubation of suspension cells in non-adherent flasks to assess toxicity in bioassays

Process

How We Work With You

Specify

Select SPE column type based on analyte charge and polarity: HLB for broad-spectrum, MAX for acids, MCX for bases, WAX for strong acids

Sample

Trial quantities of SPE columns and flasks are supplied to validate recovery and compatibility with existing LC-MS/MS methods

Standardise

Use part numbers and consistent packaging to ensure batch-to-batch reproducibility in method validation

Supply

Repeat supply of the same specification, with OEM packing available for private-label use

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Which SPE column should we use for perfluorinated acids in water?

Use the WAX Weak Anion Exchange column, which is designed for strong acids and has a stable pH range from 1 to 14

Can your flasks be used for suspension cell culture?

Yes. The flasks are available with a non-adherent surface treatment that minimizes cell damage and loss during suspension culture

Are your SPE columns compatible with LC-MS/MS methods?

Yes. The HLB, MAX, MCX, and WAX columns are designed for high recovery and reproducibility in LC-MS/MS workflows

Do you supply under our own label?

Yes. The OEM division offers OEM plastic devices, OEM contract manufacturing, and membrane die-cut and packing

What sterilization method is used on the flasks?

The flasks are gamma radiation sterilized and are non-pyrogenic, DNase/Rnase free
