Solid Liquid Extraction (SLE)

Solid Liquid Extraction, also referred to as Supported Liquid Extraction or Simplified Liquid Extraction (SLE), simplifies the liquid-liquid extraction product by eliminating the formation of emulsions and the need to separate liquid phases manually. Simply load your aqueous sample onto the solid support and allow it to soak into the sorbent. After 5 minutes, apply the same organic solvent that you would use for a liquid-liquid extraction. Target analytes will partition into the organic solvent and elute from the sorbent, leaving behind contaminants such as phospholipids, proteins, and salts.
