Extraction

Prevent degradation of labile compounds System configuration examples
With conventional solvent extraction, labile compounds may react with extraction solvents or could be oxidized and/or degraded.

extracted under light-shielding and anaerobic
conditions to protect labile analytes from
degradation. By adding a fraction collector to

SFE Pretreatment System
The preparation of dried blood spots (DBS) from extraction to analysis requires simply enclosing a blood spot in
an extraction vessel.
This system allows the pretreatment of samples

On-line SFE–SFC Praparative System
Nexera UC can be applied to cleaning validation which is performed in the pharmaceutical industry to confirm that manufacturing equipment has been
properly cleaned. Nexera UC automatically runs a series of steps from extraction to analysis by only putting the sample swab in the extraction vessel. In
