WHY EMPORE™
Membrane technology advantages
Sorbent particles tightly enmeshed in PTFE matrix — no void space, no channeling, uniform particle distribution.
700 ml/min
Ultra-fast flow rate
47mm disk processes 1L of water in under 10 minutes at 20 inHg vacuum
Up to 1/3
Lowest elution volume
Compared to traditional loose-packed SPE — minimize or eliminate evaporation steps
10–15%
Higher consistency
Best reproducibility and lowest CVs among leading SPE products
1/10
Least particle fines
Reduces tube clogging and system downtime — extends HPLC column life
REGULATORY
Recommended in 13+ official EPA methods
Empore™ is written into EPA's official analytical methods for water quality testing. When laboratories follow these methods, Empore is the specified SPE product — making it the standard for regulatory compliance.
