Biotage Atlantic ReadyDisk solid-phase extraction (SPE) disks

Biotage has announced the Atlantic ReadyDisk product family of solid-phase extraction (SPE) disks, pre-assembled into single-use holders, for extracting semi-volatile organic compounds from aqueous samples.

Single-use disk holders have become popular for high-throughput laboratories as they eliminate the time required to clean disk holders between extractions. Atlantic ReadyDisks consist of SPE disks that are pre-assembled into disposable polypropylene holders and hence ready to use straight out of the box. They are compatible with both automatic and manual extraction systems, including those produced by Biotage.

The product format enables relatively high flow rates without solution breakthrough or disk clogging. The disks are designed to maximise surface area interaction with the analytes in the solution, while providing suitable filtration capability. They are intended for use in processing drinking water and groundwater samples, which have relatively low particulate levels, in a wide range of volumes — including large, litre-sized samples.

The disks will be available with three media options: Atlantic C18 (both standard and high capacity) and Atlantic DVB. The wide range of available media accommodates the extraction of a variety of analytes including pesticides, herbicides, carbonyls and dioxins in compliance with 500 Series, 600 Series and 8000 Series EPA Methods. The disks are available in packs of 24 and a handy three-disk sample pack.
