Hydromatrix diatomaceous earth can be used for fast extraction of a wide variety of polar and nonpolar pesticides, herbicides, insecticides, fungicides, and heavy metals.
This document provides a technical overview of Agilent's Hydromatrix diatomaceous earth and Chem Elut extraction cartridges. These products are designed to simplify environmental sample preparation by avoiding emulsion formation when processing samples containing lipids or fats, such as soil, sludge, fruits, and vegetables.
You must add 3.3 mL of NaCl solution for every 10 mL of sample.
The process uses an oven temperature of 100°C and a pressure of 1500-2000 psi.
