Science Made Easy With Solid Phase Extraction System

By Christine Evans


As the world is getting crowded, the number of diseases has increased due to the rise of newly discovered viruses. The crowdedness of the world has forced manufacturers to use artificial materials and or chemicals to speed up production of goods. With the chemicals being carelessly disposed after usage, combined with the existing natural viruses, diseases have become resilient to science. However, scientists have made advancement in their methods, too, through the invention of a solid phase extraction system or SPE system device.

For scientists, and pharmacologist to counter the birth, and rebirth of viruses, they would have to break up the compounds of contaminated liquids. This system allows doctors to separate each compound according to the physical and chemical properties of it. This process will lead to the extraction of samples, storage and preservation, field sampling, and as a biometric indicator.

This delight has been convenient for pharmacological scientists because it is capable of portability. A sample can easily be susceptible to degeneration during transportation from the area it is collected from. The scientists have been given the peace of mind that during the transport, the samples collected are being kept safe, and its integrity uncompromised. The delight has been a great help for doctors assigned in areas where medical research facilities are evasive.

SPE devices have multiple types. A scientist can determine the proper device for the desired application would depend on the volume of the sample, degree of contamination, complexity of sample matrix, quantity of compounds of interest, and type and solvent strength of sample matrix. However, there are three ways that a scientist can separate compounds of interest from impurities using a certain SPE device. Each method depends on the scheme one needs that is appropriate for the sample gathering. Below are those three processes.

The selective extraction approach. This where a sorbent is used to bind selected composites of the sample gathered, the process of retaining the compounds happens when the sample is passing through the installed disk or tube. The bright mind can either be opting to collect the compounds that were adsorbed or do away with the disk or the tube which contains the impurity extractions.

Selective washing methodology. The composite and impurities retention are being stored on the packing when a sample passes through. Washing happens when the impurities are rinsed with solutions that are strong enough to remove them, and weak enough to leave the composites behind.

The selective elution method. Using another sorbent, the adsorbed compound is being eluted. This will leave the strongly retained impurities behind.

The capability of this system to pinpoint biometric indicators has become very useful for scientists. The DNA extraction service being offered by this device can also be used by crime investigators to determine a suspect. Since each one has different biometrics, solving crimes has less complicated.

The increase of human population resulted to the production of new diseases that are formed using artificial ingredients, and restoring and strengthening of diseases that were formed in nature. This has resulted to the desire of doctors to find new ways in countering them. Scientists are not the only ones who can help in the movement. Individuals can start boycotting merchandise from manufacturing companies that use hazardous ingredients during the making of such products.
