CLEAN SCREEN®: Handpicked chemistries for the extraction of hundreds of commonly encountered and newly discovered drugs. Versatile and reliable, these chemistries find applications in both forensic and clinical settings.
Available Phases:
CLEAN SCREEN® DAU: Utilizes both a reverse (C8) phase and an ion exchange (benzenesulfonic acid) phase bonded to the same particle.
CLEAN SCREEN® THC: Features a unique blend of hydrophobic and anion exchange functionalities, optimized for THC and its metabolites.
CLEAN SCREEN® GHB: Patented sorbent for the isolation and extraction of free Gamma-hydroxy butyric acid (GHB).
CLEAN SCREEN® ETG: Designed for the extraction of ethyl-glucuronide from urine.
CLEAN SCREEN® BNZ: A specialized sorbent for benzodiazepine extractions, with a specific focus on 7-amino benzodiazepines.
CLEAN SCREEN XCEL®: Designed to reduce the number of steps in the extraction process. (a) The XCEL I sorbent will extract a wide array of basic drugs including benzodiazepines and opiates. (b) The XCEL II sorbent is designed solely for rapid and clean extraction of the THC metabolite, THC-Δ9 -carboxylic acid.
CLEAN SCREEN FASt®: Employs a filtration process for quick preparation of urine samples for LC/MS analysis. The methodology eliminates the need for centrifugation, mitigates matrix suppression effects, and removes particulates larger than 1 μm. Specifically: (a) The standard FASt® sorbent is tailored for extracting drugs from urine. (b) The FASt® THC sorbent specializes in extracting the THC metabolite from urine. (c) The FASt® EtG sorbent is designed for extracting EtG/EtS metabolites from urine.
XtrackT®: Large particle silica gels designed for viscous sample matrices or gravity flow applications, offering enhanced performance in challenging extraction scenarios.
Available Phases: DAU, C18, BCX, CCX, PCX, PSA, SIL.
STYRE SCREEN®: Formulated with ultra-clean, highly cross-linked styrene and divinylbenzene polymer sorbents, providing high analyte capacity with lower bed mass, enabling faster flow rates and reduced solvent usage.
