INTip SPE utilizes a patented technology known as Dispersive Pipette XTRaction. This device is unique from all other SPE devices because sorbent is loosely contained within a pipette tip.
This technology enables INTip solid phase extraction for easy sample preparation. The disperser helps to perturb the sample solution and loose sorbent during aspirate and dispense steps. This mixing provides a highly efficient interaction of the sorbent with the analyte of interest resulting in ideal analyte recoveries.

10. DPX + SALLE
XTR tips can house sorbents likes Weak Anion
Exchange (WAX) or Reverse Phase (RP) for
cleanup and the salt (S) necessary for SALLE
(Salting-out Assisted Liquid-Liquid Extraction).
This methodology is ideal for applications that
require acetonitrile for protein precipitation
and are focused on hydrophobic analytes.

Analysis of Catecholamines in Urine
The alternative to the bind wash elute is a clean-up method. Here, the matrix is bound to the resin, leaving a clean solution containing the analytes of interest behind. Two of the most common DPX Clean Up tips are the Supelco Hybrid phospholipid removal tips and WAX-S tips, the tips of discussion in our two posters this year at MSACL.
