Uppsala, Sweden – Biotage® (STO: BIOT), a leading global supplier of solutions and technology for analytical and medicinal chemistry, announces the addition of new polymer based SPE columns to their tried and tested EVOLUTE® EXPRESS range.

EVOLUTE® EXPRESS is a novel family of plates, and now columns, that simplify polymer-based SPE by employing a streamlined three step protocol; Load-Wash-Elute. By using this approach and removing the conditioning and equilibration steps, necessary with traditional bio-analytical SPE procedures, processing and method development times are dramatically reduced without loss of analyte recovery or method robustness.

“Biotage has built a reputation for offering products that simplify Sample Preparation, promoting high throughput and reliability. By expanding the tried and tested EVOLUTE®EXPRESS range we address a real concern for many analysts who have to re-run samples due to well-clogging and sample variability. The minimal three step approach of Load-Wash-Elute considerably improves the way SPE is performed and offers significant time savings for all bio-analysis labs” says Dr. Claire Desbrow, Analytical Chemistry, Product Manager, Biotage.
