Explore our most popular sample preparation products and learn how they can help you get the job done quickly and accurately.

QuEChERS

The QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) technique revolutionized multiresidue, multiclass pesticide analysis. Agilent prepackaged dispersive kits, extraction salts, and ceramic homogenizers save time and are suitable for applications such as pesticides and mycotoxins in food.

Sample filtration

Achieve longer column life, maximize uptime, improve sample integrity, and maximize instrument performance by filtering your samples. Agilent Captiva filtration products are designed for applications such as lipid/matrix removal, automated protein precipitation, and sample preparation before further analysis. Formats include 96-well plates, cartridges, and syringe filters. Captiva vacuum collars and 96-well collection plates are also available for collecting filtrate or eluate from Captiva filtration plates.

Solid phase extraction

A cost-effective alternative to liquid-liquid extraction, solid phase extraction (SPE) selectively adsorbs analytes or interferences from complex matrices. Agilent Bond Elut SPE products are ideal for sample clean-up and analyte concentration preceding liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, ion chromatography, and other techniques.

Always innovating

The Agilent sample preparation portfolio is constantly evolving to improve workflows, reduce costs, and enhance performance. Check out some of our newest products.
