SPE is usually performed using a column or cartridge containing an appropriate material or 35 sorbent. SPE procedures have been developed using sorbents and salts thereof, that can interact with analytes by hydrophobic, ion-exchange, wherein the order of repeat units A, B and C may be chelation, sorption, and other mechanisms, to bind and random, block, or a combination of random and block; remove the analytes from fluids. wherein Because different SPE applications can require different 40 sorbents, there is a need for sorbents with novel properties that have unique selectivities. These include Superior wetting characteristics, selective capture of analytes of interest, and 1 (p + n) 100 non-retention of interfering analytes. Sorbents comprising or < r < 45 porous particles having the aforementioned properties are and described in WO99/64480 and in U.S.
