Waters Beginner’s Guide to Solid Phase Extraction (SPE)

Waters Corporation has published a 212-page Beginner’s Guide to Solid Phase Extraction (SPE). Authored by noted instructor Joe Arsenault, who has more than 35 years of experience in SPE, the handbook is a learning tool for scientists and technicians who want to add to their skill set and put the power of solid phase extraction immediately to work in their analytical laboratory.

The compilation of advice is illustrated with more than 150 easy-to-understand diagrams, schematics and tables and teaches chemists how to: remove interferences that needlessly contaminate analytical columns and foul mass spectrometers; reduce ion suppression in mass spectrometers and improve signal strength; fractionate samples and analyse compounds by class; and measure very low levels of analytes by performing trace concentration enrichment.
