Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) Solutions for Analytical Laboratories
High-Performance SPE Columns for LC-MS / GC-MS Sample Preparation
Overview
Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) is an essential technique for modern analytical workflows, which is widely used in environmental testing, food safety, pharmaceutical quality control and biological sample cleanup.
J&K Scientific offers a complete line of high-purity SPE columns providing clean extracts, high recovery rates and reliable performance for laboratories worldwide.
Our SPE product line covers a broad range of sorbents including C18, Florisil, Silica, PSA, NH₂, SAX, CN, GCB and polymer-based HLB/MCX/MAX types, suitable for both routine testing and advanced LC-MS/GC-MS analysis.
