ENVIRONMENTALANALYSISI. Solid Phase Extraction mechanised L/L extraction – ISOLUTE HM-N
ISOLUTE HM-N Liquid/Liquid Extraction Columns ISOLUTE HM-N columns: • Standard polypropylene tubes packed with ISOLUTE HM-N material (previously available in bulk only). • To aid flow under gravity, the normal top frit (hydrophobic) is replaced by a mesh retaining ring (allows sample to flow easily under gravity)
How does it Work? • Modified form of diatomaceous earth. • High surface area. • Aqueous sample absorbed by the hydrophillic surface, leaving the analytes on the surface. • Non water miscible solvent is applied and liquid-liquid extraction occurs. Analytes are eluted with the organic solvent.
Advantages • High surface area - very efficient extraction. • No emulsion formation. • Traditionally performed under gravity - less labour intensive than traditional liquid-liquid. • Can be automated.
