ALA SPE Cartridge

Finetech® Alumina is an extremely polar sorbent, like silica. Its abundance of surface electrons engenders π-π interaction with aromatic rings, giving rise to strongly polar retention and Lewis acidity. Compared with un-bonded silica, alumina is more stable in high pH conditions and suitable for extracting aromatic amines.

 

Alumina is available in acidic (ALA), neutral (ALN) and basic (ALB) formulations from which you can choose an appropriate one according to your specific applications.
