Strong Anion Mixed-Mode Solid Phase Extraction (SPE)
A strong anion-exchange functionalized polymeric sorbent that allows for complete retention of weakly acidic compounds with a pKa greater than 2, making 100% organic wash conditions possible. A 100% organic wash ensures that the maximum amount of interferences are removed from the target compound.
Phenomenex: Strata-X-A SPE
- Recommended Use: Extraction of weakly acidic compounds
Starting Method
For Acids with pKa > 2
- Column: 1 mL Methanol
- Equilibrate: 1 mL Water, pH 6-7
- Load: Diluted Sample pH 6-7
- Wash 1: 1 mL 25 mM Ammonium Acetate Buffered, pH 6-7
- Wash 2: 1 mL Methanol (collect this fraction to analyze Neutral/Bases)
- Elute Acid: 2x 500 µL 5 % Formic Acid in Methanol
Phenomenex: Strata X single tube
Based on 30 mg/1 mL sorbent mass. The above is a convenient starting point for SPE method development, further optimization may be required to tailor the method for your specific extraction needs.
