Phenomenex Phree Phospholipid Removal Plates

Phenomenex has introduced Phree Phospholipid Removal Plates for fast clean-up of plasma samples in pharmaceutical and clinical research laboratories.

Successful chromatographic analysis of plasma samples requires the removal of both proteins and phospholipids, which can clog HPLC/UHPLC columns. Phospholipids can also cause ion suppression and over time will reduce sensitivity due to build-up on the mass spec source. The product removes both proteins and phospholipids in one step, eliminating time-consuming method development, and delivers the prepared plasma to a collection plate.

The high-capacity Phree sorbent can process up to 400 µL per well and removes 99-100% of lysophosphatidyl and phosphatidyl cholines, which are not removed when a simple protein precipitation is performed. The plate format enables the simultaneous processing of 96 samples.
