Custom SPME Fibers

Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME) is an innovative, solvent-free sample prep technology that is fast, economical, and versatile. SPME has gained widespread acceptance as a preferred technique for many analytical applications in various fields such as, food & beverage, flavors and fragrances, forensics and toxicology, and environmental volatiles (VOC) testing.

SPME uses a fiber coated with an extraction phase comprising of a pure polymer (liquid coating) or adsorptive particles embedded in a polymer (adsorbent/particle coatings). The fiber coating extracts the compounds from the sample. The SPME fiber is then inserted directly into the GC injector for thermal desorption and analysis.
