1 Welchrom Solid Phase Extration Solid Phase Extraction Cartridge Sample preparation is one of the most important key steps for the entire analysis process as over 60% of the entire analysis process time and over 30% of the analysis errors are from the sample preparation. Over the last twenty years, SPE has become the most powerful technique prior to analytical chromatography for the cleanup, purification, and concentration of samples from various matrices, including urine, blood, water, beverages, soil, and animal tissue. Solid phase extraction is a form of digital (stepwise) chromatography designed to extract, partition, and/ or adsorb one or more components from a liquid phase (sample) onto stationary phase (sorbent or resin). SPE extends a chromatographic system s lifetime, improves qualitative and quantitative analysis, and by changing an analyte of interest s original matrix environment to a simpler matrix more suitable for subsequent analysis, the demand placed on an analytical instrument is considerably lessened. Use SPE for Samples that: Contain particulate matter causing system clogging and high back-pressure. Contain components that cause high background, misleading peaks, and/or poor sensitivity. Require cleanup, trace enrichment/concentration, or purification. Require sample matrix or solvent. Benefits of SPE: Switch sample matrices to form more compatible with chromatographic analyses. Concentrate analytes for increased sensitivity. Remove interferences to simplify chromatography and improve quantitation. Protect the analytical column from contaminants. Common SPE Applications: Pharmaceutical compounds and metabolites in biological fluids. Drugs of abuse in biological fluids.l Environmental pollutants in drinking and wastewater. Pesticides and antibiotics in food/agricultural matrices. Desalting of proteins and peptides. Fractionation of lipids. Water and fat soluble vitamins.

2 Introduction of Products Since 2005, Welch Materials, Inc. has launched Ultisil (also called Ultimate in China market), Xtimate, and TopsilTM series of HPLC chromatography column packing and products into the China market, with excellent chromatographic performance, competitive price and the best professional services. Those products have won the trust from the majority of users. With several years of increased market share, Welch Materials now has become one of the top several major suppliers of HPLC column product line in China. Based on our core chromatographic packing technology and strong new product development ability, Welch Materials also developed a series of products (Welchrom is a registered trade mark of Welch Materials), including silica-based, polymer-based products, and other inorganicsorbent, and specialty and mixed phases. products are manufactured using state-ofthe-art automation to guarantee quality and consistency. We have high standards of a series of quality assurance measurements to characterize raw materials and semifinished packing, such as pore size, pore volume, surface area and the carbon loading, to ensure products excellent batch-to-batch reproducibility and high extraction efficiency.
