Click & Execute Method
This advanced method offers an end-to-end solution developed around an advanced application, a specialized kit, or an analytical system. It delivers complete functional, ready-to-use protocols that are qualitatively and quantitatively assessed for consistency, executability, and repeatability, usually without needing to make any changes. It operates per batch size and is scalable to accommodate changing requirements.
Version 1, 3 Dec 2023 at 11:49 AM
Solid phase extraction (SPE) is a routinely used sample preparation technique in bioanalytical/DMPK laboratories, selectively capturing the analyte or drug target while removing biomatrix components, thus improving the sensitivity, selectivity, and robustness of the analytical method. SPE is often perceived as complex and labor-intensive, requiring lengthy method optimization to achieve high analyte recovery. The 20 bottle method optimization approach described in the Oasis HLB care & use manual provides an elegant way of optimizing the organic composition of the wash and elution solvents in a single experiment, significantly simplifying the method development process.
