Major Products/Services

Supelco's HPLC product offerings include Titan™ UHPLC columns, Ascentis Express Fused-Core® HPLC columns plus a new Fused-Core BIOshell™ column that improves protein and peptide analyses by reversed phase; the same way Ascentis Express columns advance the analysis of small molecular weight compounds.

The unique polymer chemistries of Supelco's SLB® and Equity® capillary GC columns provide accurate identification and reliable quantification. Supelco's SLB columns offer a low bleed, inert, and durable column for trace analyses.

Supelco offers a wide range of SPE cartridges and accessories in standard and specialty phases. Some of the newest and most innovative SPE products include HybridSPE®-Phospholipid, Supel™ Tox SPE cartridges, and Supel QuE Z-Sep QuEChERS sorbents. HybridSPE-Phospholipid offers LC–MS users analysis free from phospholipid interference and related ion suppression. Supel Tox SPE cartridges deliver fast and simple cleanup for mycotoxin analysis. Supel QuE Z-Sep QuEChERS sorbents remove more lipid and pigment interferences from fatty or highly pigmented samples than traditional phases for QuEChERS.

Our SPME technology (short, phase-coated fused-silica fiber) is used to remove analytes from water-based samples or headspace and deliver them to a capillary GC or an HPLC column. Supelco also offers a vast variety of analytical standards and its carbon research program is unique to the separations technologies industry.
