Competitive Advatanges
- Enhanced extraction and preconcentration of nonpolar/hydrophobic analytes
- Provide superior enrichment of nonpolar analytes
- Optimized sorbent performance
Summary
Our inventors have achieved enhanced extraction and pre-concentration of nonpolar/hydrophobic analytes with sol-gel sorbent. This design will simultaneously possess two surface-bonded organic ligand that provide superior enrich-ment of nonpolar analytes by cooperatively exploiting su-perhydrophobicity of one ligand and π-π interaction of the other. Sorbent performance can be enhanced further by substi-tuting silica with germania, this will improve sorbent per-formance in terms of analyte enrichment and sorbent stability.
