CHROMABOND®XTR for liquid-liquid extraction

• base material coarse-grained kieselguhr (also known as diatomaceous earth, hydromatrix, celite)
• large pore size, high pore volume, constantly high batch-to-batch quality
• pH working range 1 – 13

Application:

• liquid-liquid extraction of highly viscous aqueous solutions such as physiological fluids (blood, plasma, and serum) in clinical chemistry, dyes in textiles, environmental and food analysis without use of a separation funnel
• high water loadability without breakthrough of water during elution with organic solvents also suited for removing small amounts of water from solvents which are not miscible with water

Advantages:

• fast, reproducible and economical
• simultaneous preparation of several samples
• no problems with phase separation ∙ no formation of emulsions
• high recovery rates
• saving of time and solvents
• organic solutions need not to be dried after separation
