The recently published Forensic and Clinical Applications of Solid Phase Extraction, by Michael J. Telepchak, Thomas August and Glynn Chaney, has been met with enthusiasm by those in the SPE field, and has been recommended as a valuable laboratory reference. Dr. Terry Danielson, Ph.D., who reviewed the book for the American Society of Crime Laboratory Directors, calls attention to the “extensive details of many currently available SPE separation procedures,” and describes the book as a convenient compendium of SPE technology, and is relevant to the development, implementation and practice of modern SPE appropriate to students, and experienced practitioners.”

Abstract:

This complete laboratory reference manual explains the principles behind solid phase extraction (SPE) and provides readily reproducible protocols for solving extraction problems in forensic and clinical chemistry. Numerous actual chromatograms, based on original research and diverse applications, demonstrate the technique and the results that can be achieved. Extensive appendices allow fast access to frequently needed information on reagents, the preparation of solutions and buffers, milliequivalent and millimode calculations, buffers and pKa for SPE, and a complete RapidTrace® technical manual. Each proven protocol is described in step-by-step detail and contains an introduction outlining the principle behind the technique, lists of equipment and reagents, and tips on troubleshooting and on avoiding known pitfalls.
