Lab Consumables: Empore™, SPE Media and Analyzer Accessories

Membrane SPE, sample prep consumables, air monitoring tubes, and analyzer accessories.

SPE cartridges and sample preparation consumables

Consumables · 6 models

A sample preparation method is only as reproducible as the consumables that run it. LabTech supplies the discs, cartridges, tubes, vessels, reagents, and instrument parts that sit between the sample and the detector: membrane SPE for organic extracts, digestion and ashing consumables for inorganic work, air monitoring tubes, and the sample containers and reaction hardware that keep elemental analyzers running.

Membrane SPE speed

Empore™ discs load at up to 700 mL/min, fast enough to process large sample volumes.

One-tenth elution

Elution volumes are one-tenth those of conventional column SPE, cutting solvent use.

Better reproducibility

Empore™ membrane SPE improves reproducibility by 10–15% compared with conventional column SPE, batch after batch.

Less sorbent loss

Sorbent loss falls to one-tenth that of conventional SPE columns and 96-well plates.

Models

Choose the configuration.

The range follows the routine consumable list of a working laboratory rather than a single technique. Empore™ membrane SPE leads the organic side, with loading speeds up to 700 mL/min and elution volumes one-tenth those of a conventional column. The remaining groups fill in the formats, materials, and analyzer parts around it, so one supplier can cover a sample preparation bench.

01

Empore™ membrane SPE

Membrane-based solid-phase extraction discs, cartridges, plates, and tips

Empore™ membrane SPE captures sorbent particles in an inert PTFE matrix, producing a thin extraction medium that extracts, separates, purifies, and enriches target compounds. The line covers SPE discs, SPE cartridges, SPE 96-well plates, and SPE pipette tips, so the same chemistry is available from single large-volume samples to plate-based work.

  • Sorbent particles captured in an inert PTFE matrix.
  • Extraction, separation, purification, and enrichment in one medium.
  • SPE discs, cartridges, 96-well plates, and pipette tips.
  • Loading speed up to 700 mL/min.
  • Elution volume one-tenth that of conventional column SPE.
  • Reproducibility 10–15% higher than conventional column SPE.
  • Sorbent loss one-tenth that of conventional columns and 96-well plates.

Questions

Before you buy.

What formats does Empore™ membrane SPE come in?

SPE discs, SPE cartridges, SPE 96-well plates, and SPE pipette tips. All four formats are built on the same sorbent-in-PTFE membrane, so a method can move between single large-volume samples and plate-based throughput.

How much faster is Empore™ than column SPE?

Loading speed reaches 700 mL/min, and elution volume is one-tenth that of conventional column SPE. Sorbent loss is one-tenth that of conventional SPE columns and 96-well plates, and reproducibility is 10–15% higher than column SPE.

Can I buy consumables for instruments from other manufacturers?

Yes. The organic and inorganic analyzer accessory ranges cover analyzers from multiple brands, including sample containers, reaction reagents and vessels, reference materials, and ICP sample introduction parts.
