Dr Paul Wynne, SGE Analytical Science, 7 Argent Place, Ringwood, Victoria, 3134, Australia ABSTRACT The MEPS™ consists of a small (~7 µl) compartment, the Microextraction Packed Sorbent (MEPS™) is an adaptation Barrel Insert and Needle Assembly (BIN), that contains the of SPE into a miniaturized device with a typical void volume stationary phase, and is built into the syringe needle.

With operating volumes of this scale and packing material is 40-50 µm silica with 60 Å pore size and its compatibility with autosampler syringes, MEPS™ allows a range of common surface modifications. the specificity of the solid-phase process to be harnessed for digital chromatography using discontinuous changes in solvent polarity. The eluant volumes are sufficiently small to be injected directly into a HPLC system and therefore permit the on-line use of solid-phase extraction methodology in real time with the HPLC. In this application, we describe the analysis of naturally voided human urine samples that were collected following LOAD WASH ELUTE INJECT the administration of single doses of antitussive medicines Figure 2: Standard operation of a MEPS™ extraction containing codeine, dextromethorphan or pentoxyverine.

ADVANTAGES OF MEPS™ Speculative structural elucidation of metabolites was 3 4 possible by mass fragmentography and MS or MS as • Sample Size and Sensitivity: required. Sample volumes may be as little as 10 µL, or by taking multiple aliquots of 100 µL or 250 µL, samples of 1mL or larger may be concentrated. ™ The effectiveness of MEPS was compared with the same • Robustness: sample prepared off-line using conventional cartridge SPE. Samples can be drawn and dispensed through septa. The method was used to demonstrate the effectiveness of • Automation: ™ The capability to extract samples and make injections on-line MEPS for on-line extraction of biological fluids for LCMS using a single device reduces both sample processing times and analysis. the need for operator intervention. • Sorbent Life: THE MEPS™ PRINCIPLE Typical BIN life for extraction of whole plasma sample is conservatively about 40 to 100 samples. This significantly increases for cleaner samples. • Carry Over: The small quantity of phase in the MEPS™ BIN can be easily and effectively washed between samples to reduce the possibility of G carryover.
