The Solid Phase Extraction System Has Been A Delight In Science

By Christine Evans


As the world is getting crowded, the number of diseases has increased due to the rise of newly discovered viruses. The crowdedness of the world has forced manufacturers to use artificial materials and or chemicals to speed up production of goods. With the chemicals being carelessly disposed after usage, combined with the existing natural viruses, diseases have become resilient to science. However, scientists have made advancement in their methods, too, through the invention of a solid phase extraction system or SPE system device.

The job of pharmacological scientists is to sort out contaminated liquid materials in the hopes of countering production and reproduction of contagions. This system has allowed these scientists to isolate each element depending on its chemical and physical properties. Eventually, it will lead to sample extraction, preservation and storage, site sampling, and indicating of unique biometrics.

This delight has been convenient for pharmacological scientists because it is capable of portability. A sample can easily be susceptible to degeneration during transportation from the area it is collected from. The scientists have been given the peace of mind that during the transport, the samples collected are being kept safe, and its integrity uncompromised. The delight has been a great help for doctors assigned in areas where medical research facilities are evasive.

Devices offering this system have different kinds. Doctors are able to determine which type is appropriate for their study by the volume of samples, the level of contamination, sample matrix complexity, quality of composite of interest, and type and the strength of the solvent of the matrix. Yet, there are only three ways that a doctor can isolate the composite of interest from any impurity while using a certain type of this device. Mentioned below are the three methodologies.

Selective extraction methodology. With a sorbent that will bind the selected composites of a sample, composites retention is being done when the sample is passing through the disk. A pharmacological scientist can opt for the collection of the adsorbed composites or discard the disk containing an extracted impurity.

The selective washing method. When the sample passes through, the compound of interests and impurities are retained on the SPE packing. The impurities are then rinsed with wash solutions that are capable or removing them, and will leave the compound behind.

Selective elution methodology. With the usage of another sorbent, the adsorbed composite is to undergo elution. The strong retention of impurities will have such impurities left behind.

This system is also advantageous to the police. This device is capable of the extraction of DNA from evidence that will later on indict the criminal. Each person has a unique biological footprint that the police can easily compare among the suspected criminals.

The unnatural materials that made up the products today have aided the formation of novelty diseases and reformulation of existent natural diseases. As the production of such products increase to keep up with the demands of the ever populating world, the brightest minds had to make the necessary steps in life preservation. Those in the scientific field are the only ones with the job of preserving life, other people, too, can help by not using products from factories that utilize hazardous materials.
