Accelerating Your SPE Sample Clean-up
The Microlute SPE sample preparation system from Porvair Sciences provides a faster, trouble-free alternative to cartridges for high throughput sample clean-up. Handling samples as small as 150?l the Microlute? SPE sample preparation system helps you increase your assay sensitivity by providing pre-injection clean-up and concentration you can trust.
The Microlute SPE sample preparation system from Porvair Sciences provides a faster, trouble-free alternative to cartridges for high throughput sample clean-up. Handling samples as small as 150µl the Microlute™ SPE sample preparation system helps you increase your assay sensitivity by providing pre-injection clean-up and concentration you can trust.
As a complete package, including filter plate, collection plate, waste tray and manifold, the Microlute™ SPE sample preparation system offers all the advantages of automated and high throughput SPE sample preparation in a convenient microplate format capable of rapidly processing 96 samples in one go repeatedly and precisely.
Constructed from a single piece of moulded ultra pure polypropylene, the Microlute™ plate will not bend or distort because individual SPE cartridges do not have to be repeatedly plugged in and out. Using a proprietary sorbent slurry loading technique, Porvair has eliminated the channelling effects that often limit the performance of dry powder loaded SPE columns. Each well on a Microlute™ plate has an individual drain spout ensuring 100% sample transfer and zero crossover contamination. To recover dried or concentrated sample the Microlute™ SPE sample preparation system may be coupled to a Porvair MiniVap sample concentrator.
Microlute plates are available with a choice of sorbent and filter, and sample collection plates in a selection of well volumes (350 µl, 1ml or 2ml), to optimally match your sample clean-up requirements.

The Complexity of Oligonucleotide Separations
January 9th 2025Peter Pellegrinelli, Applications Specialist at Advanced Materials Technology (AMT) explains the complexity of oligonucleotide separations due to the unique chemical properties of these molecules. Issues such as varying length, sequence complexity, and hydrophilic-hydrophobic characteristics make efficient separations difficult. Separation scientists are addressing these challenges by modifying mobile phase compositions, using varying ion-pairing reagents, and exploring alternative separation modes like HILIC and ion-exchange chromatography. Due to these complexities, AMT has introduced the HALO® OLIGO column, which offers high-resolution, fast separations through its innovative Fused-Core® technology and high pH stability. Alongside explaining the new column, Peter looks to the future of these separations and what is next to come.
Metabolomics Analysis of Low Birth-Weight Infants Using UHPLC-MS/MS Following Lipid Emulsion
January 10th 2025A recent study aimed to directly compare the changes in serum metabolites among very low birth-rate (VLBW) infants following the administration of the soybean oil-based lipid emulsion and soybean oil, medium-chain triglycerides, olive oil, and fish oil (SMOF) lipid emulsion using untargeted metabolomics techniques.
