ISOLUTE SLE+ Supported Liquid Extraction plates and columns offer an efficient alternative to traditional liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) for bioanalytical sample preparation, providing high analyte recoveries, no emulsion formation and significantly reduced sample preparation time.

This application note describes the extraction of a range of SPICE drugs and metabolites in urine which are typically screened in forensic toxicology panels using ISOLUTE SLE+ in a 96-well plate format. Both manual (Biotage Pressure+ 96) and automated (TECAN Freedom EVO 100) processing conditions are described.
