The Solid Phase Extraction System Has Been A Delight In Science

By Christine Evans


As the world is getting crowded, the number of diseases has increased due to the rise of newly discovered viruses. The crowdedness of the world has forced manufacturers to use artificial materials and or chemicals to speed up production of goods. With the chemicals being carelessly disposed after usage, combined with the existing natural viruses, diseases have become resilient to science. However, scientists have made advancement in their methods, too, through the invention of a solid phase extraction system or SPE system device.

The isolation of compounds from contaminated liquid source is a tool for scientists to impede the formulation and reformulation of viral infections. This invention has been allowing doctors to sort out each particle physically and chemically. This would lead to data extraction, preserving data and its storage, collecting samples from the field, and biological footprint indicators.

An SPE device is a convenience for scientist due to its capability of being portable. Samples that easily degrade can be taken on the site of interest. The device also brings the scientist confidence that its storage is reliable in preserving said samples. This convenience has greatly helped doctors to gather samples from areas where medical facilities are scarce.

Devices offering this system have different kinds. Doctors are able to determine which type is appropriate for their study by the volume of samples, the level of contamination, sample matrix complexity, quality of composite of interest, and type and the strength of the solvent of the matrix. Yet, there are only three ways that a doctor can isolate the composite of interest from any impurity while using a certain type of this device. Mentioned below are the three methodologies.

The selective extraction approach. This where a sorbent is used to bind selected composites of the sample gathered, the process of retaining the compounds happens when the sample is passing through the installed disk or tube. The bright mind can either be opting to collect the compounds that were adsorbed or do away with the disk or the tube which contains the impurity extractions.

The selective washing method. When the sample passes through, the compound of interests and impurities are retained on the SPE packing. The impurities are then rinsed with wash solutions that are capable or removing them, and will leave the compound behind.

The selective elution method. Using another sorbent, the adsorbed compound is being eluted. This will leave the strongly retained impurities behind.

This is also beneficial to police investigators. Since this system is able to extract DNA from samples, investigators can used the DNA extraction to determine the correct suspect. Upon birth, each individual is given a unique set of DNA, making it easier to identify a suspect.

The world being crowded has contributed to the rising of new diseases that are artificially formed, and the invigoration of existing diseases that were naturally formed. However, this has also contributed in the drive of scientists to invent scientific solutions to these problems. The common people can also contribute to counter the birth and rebirth of new diseases. People can boycott of products from manufacturers that uses harmful products for production.
