Forensics

Forensics

Forensics is the Application of Science to Civil and Criminal Law, and almost any forensic investigation  will involve testing for drugs and other toxins present in the body. From UCT’s Flagship Clean Screen® DAU (Drugs of Abuse) column which screens for a broad panel of drug compounds, to columns with specific chemistries that target individual drugs, UCT has all the Solid-Phase Extraction tools for analysis of blood, urine, oral fluids, and more.

Environmental

Environmental

Harmful aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons can often present themselves in soil, sediment, and wastewater and must be controlled as directed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and other state regulating bodies. UCT’s Enviro-Clean® line provides the necessary SPE columns and sorbents to comply with testing outlined by those agencies, as well as vacuum or positive pressure manifolds to aid in sample preparation.

Food

Food

The QuEChERS approach has quickly becomes the industry standard for pesticide monitoring in fruits and vegetables. As the first company to commercialize this technique, UCT offers the most extensive lines of quality QuEChERS configurations to meet testing requirements. In addition to the standard centrifuge tube and mylar pouch packaging, UCT also offers Quick QuEChERS push-thru cartridges, SpinFiltr® dSPE tubes and our unique ChloroFiltr® sorbent providing targeted chlorophyll removal without compromising the recovery of planar pesticides.

Clinical

Clinical

In any clinical setting, one of the core tests performed is chemical analysis of a bodily fluids, whether it be on blood, urine, or an alternative matrix. The goal of such analyses is to determine if the target analyte is present, and if so, is at or above clinically relevant levels. The same products utilized in UCT’s Clean Screen and Clean-Up® lines in forensic measurements can achieve the goals of any clinical assay to include steroid, hormone, and vitamin analysis. Employ one of our custom enzymes products while using our SPeDRY® Evaporator/Concentrator Unit to target analytes at levels needed for adequate detection and accuracy. Finish your analysis using one of core phases offered in our Selectra® line of analytical columns.

Cannabis

Cannabis

Of importance in the ever-growing Cannabis industry is not just the measurement of THC, CBD, and other Cannabinoids regarding potency testing, but also harmful entities such as pesticides and mycotoxins. A complete characterization of cannabis, edibles, and oils, therefore, requires a broad array of supplies, all which UCT provides, including various QuEChERS blends developed with these matrices in mind, in addition to other products such as SpinFiltr®, LipiFiltr® and Selectra® U/HPLC columns. If you are at a loss as to where to start your testing, consult one of our many application notes on Cannabis analyses for further direction.

The Pharmaceutical and Biotech industries

The Pharmaceutical and Biotech industries

The Pharmaceutical and Biotech industries touch almost all aspects of life, from therapeutic drug monitoring, vaccines, and antibiotics, to industrial biofuels, pesticides, and herbicides. Integral in characterization of such products are in-vivo clinical studies which examine the absorption, metabolism, and toxicity of each. UCT’s Clean Screen® and Clean-up® bulk sorbents and columns can aid in isolation of these products. Manufacturing over 60 diverse sorbent chemistries, UCT offers these packed in several different formats ranging from 96-wellplates to 150mL columns. In addition, our Selectra® line of U/HPLC columns support the staple of their characterization – Liquid Chromatography.
