Removing Uncertainty by Applying Science to SPE
Thermo Product Profile
High quality sample preparation is fundamental in obtaining sensitive and accurate chromatographic separations. The new Thermo Scientific HyperSep SPE Applications Notebook provides you with a 144 page reference guide, which includes technical specifications and protocols to assist you in selecting an appropriate Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) solution for your needs. SPE is one technique for processing samples to concentrate the analyte, remove interfering compounds and transfer the analyte into a solvent more suitable for analysis. Covering the SPE requirements of a broad range of industries and laboratories this Applications Notebook contains pharmaceutical, environmental, forensic and food safety applications.
SPE provides significant advantages over alternative methods; the simplicity of the process and efficiency of extraction giving superior recoveries and sample processing times. The HyperSep SPE Applications Notebook contains information to guide you in selecting the appropriate SPE phase by considering:

Fundamentals of Benchtop GC–MS Data Analysis and Terminology
April 5th 2025In this installment, we will review the fundamental terminology and data analysis principles in benchtop GC–MS. We will compare the three modes of analysis—full scan, extracted ion chromatograms, and selected ion monitoring—and see how each is used for quantitative and quantitative analysis.
Characterizing Plant Polysaccharides Using Size-Exclusion Chromatography
April 4th 2025With green chemistry becoming more standardized, Leena Pitkänen of Aalto University analyzed how useful size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) and asymmetric flow field-flow fractionation (AF4) could be in characterizing plant polysaccharides.
This information is supplementary to the article “Accelerating Monoclonal Antibody Quality Control: The Role of LC–MS in Upstream Bioprocessing”, which was published in the May 2025 issue of Current Trends in Mass Spectrometry.
