ISOLUTE EPH SPE columns and associated methodologies have been optimised to efficiently fractionate EPHs into aliphatic and polycyclic aromatic (PAH) fractions. The principle is similar to the approach taken by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MADEP) and TPH criteria working group (TPHCWG) methods. However, compared to these methods, the ISOLUTE EPH fractionation column has been significantly reduced in size and the sorbent has been optimised in order to reduce solvent volumes and provide an automation compatible fractionation column. Automation of the fractionation process has been achieved without carryover of PAHs into the aliphatic fraction. Environmental contamination, ISOLUTE, PAH, Polyaromatic hydrocarbons, soil,

Cyclosporine is an immunosuppressant used in organ transplants to overcome rejection. Following the transplant of a heart, liver, kidney or lung, a patient must be regularly tested for the rest of their lives. Blood testing intervals vary from 1 month to 6 months and this rapid reference method is ideal for batch tests with the advantage of no metabolite interfer-ence which is always found in immunological methods.

The removal of interferences and sample concentration are essential steps in trace level detection of pesticides, sheep dips, herbicides and PCBs in river water, wastewaters and trade effluents. The following methods were developed by the Environment Agency National Laboratory Service facility at Nottingham using the Biotage RapidTrace for automated solid phase extraction and the TurboVap II for evaporation. The procedures are UKAS accredited and can reach detection limits of 0.001 ug/Litre for some compounds.

With the widespread clinical use of antidepressant drugs comes the need to accurately measure therapeutic lev-els to determine proper dosage, as well as check for toxic levels and patient compliance. More and more laboratories are shifting their therapeutic drug monitor-ing from liquid extraction to solid phase extraction. A large clinical laboratory has automated the process of extracting these drugs from serum using the RapidTrace SPE Workstation.
