Biotage® Announces EVOLUTE® EXPRESS Columns - Simplified, Fast and Efficient SPE using the Load-Wash-Elute Procedure

Uppsala, Sweden -- Biotage® (STO: BIOT), a leading global supplier of solutions and technology for analytical and medicinal chemistry, announces the addition of new polymer based SPE columns to their tried and tested EVOLUTE® EXPRESS range.

EVOLUTE® EXPRESS is a novel family of plates, and now columns, that simplify polymer-based SPE by employing a streamlined three step protocol; Load-Wash-Elute. By using this approach and removing the conditioning and equilibration steps, necessary with traditional bio-analytical SPE procedures, processing and method development times are dramatically reduced without loss of analyte recovery or method robustness.

The EVOLUTE® EXPRESS design provides a uniform flow in the processing of aqueous samples and eliminates the need for re-runs due to clogging. This clear flow technology makes EVOLUTE® EXPRESS particularly efficient and effective when used with SPE automated systems, (such as the Biotage Extrahera™) and enabling consistent, rapid and reliable manual processing.

"Biotage has built a reputation for offering products that simplify Sample Preparation, promoting high throughput and reliability. By expanding the tried and tested EVOLUTE® EXPRESS range we address a real concern for many analysts who have to re-run samples due to well-clogging and sample variability. The minimal three step approach of Load-Wash-Elute considerably improves the way SPE is performed and offers significant time savings for all bio-analysis labs" says Dr. Claire Desbrow, Analytical Chemistry, Product Manager, Biotage.

EVOLUTE® EXPRESS columns are packed with polymer-based EVOLUTE® chemistries (ABN, CX, WCX, AX and WAX) to address most application needs in a wide range of laboratories.
