QuEChERS Extraction Salt

  • Recommend to store in 50 ml centrifuge tube and caps (not provided with the salt)
  • Samples with high percentage of water cannot be directly added in the salt for the case of an exothermic reaction that can affect your analyze recoveries, Merlin Scientific pre-packages its QuEChERS salts and buffers(AOAC & EN) in anhydrous packages, which allows you to add them after adding your solvent to the sample, as specified in QuEChERS methodologies.
  • Method Description
    AOAC Bag: 6g MgSO4, 1.5g NaAc
    EN Bag: 4g MgSO4, 1g NaCl, 0.5g Na2C6H6O7, 1g Na3C6H5O7

QuEChERS Dispersive SPE Kit

  • The extracted aliquot of sample will be added to a 2 ml or 15 ml centrifuge tube containing a certain amount of SPE dispersive sorbent and MgSO4. The sorbent will pull out interfering matrix materials from the sample, while MgSO4 helps to remove excess water and improve analyte
  • You can choose suitable QuEChERS Dispersive SPE tube according to the volume of sample aliquot and sample type

QuEChERS Ceramic Homogenizers

Ceramic homogenizers increase your overall lab productivity and give you greater confidence in your results.

They make analyte extraction easier by:

  • Cutting the required extraction time from 60 seconds to as little as 20 seconds – a time savings of 70% per sample
  • maintaining high, reproducible extractions in a third of the time
  • minimizing variance between technicians
  • breaking up salt agglomerates and maintaining a consistent grinding of homogenizing material
  • increasing your overall lab productivity and having greater confidence in your results
