12 Sample Preparation www.waters.com
The Importance of Sample Preparation
In the last two decades, dramatic advances in analytical instrumentation and laboratory information management systems shifted the analysts predominant tasks from assay measurements to sample preparation and data processing. As the stringency of requirements for higher sensitivity, selectivity, accuracy, precision, and number of samples to be processed has escalated, the corresponding increases in speed and sophistication of analy-sis and data collection have outpaced improvements in the many traditional techniques of sample collection and preparation. By some estimates, 75 to 80% of the work activity and operating cost in a contemporary analytical lab is spent processing and preparing samples for introduction or injection into an analytical separation and/or measurement device. Clearly, efforts directed and products designed to streamline sample preparation protocols are essential to future progress in analytical science.
Goals of Sample PreparationSuccessful sample preparation for most analytical techniques [HPLC, GC, spectrophotometry, RIA, etc.] has a threefold objective: namely, to provide the sample component of interest
in solution
free from interfering matrix elements
at a concentration appropriate for detection or measurement.

16 Oasis Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) Products www.waters.com
Oasis Solid-Phase Extraction (SPE) Products A Breakthrough in SPE
IntroductionIn October 1977, Waters designed the first miniature cartridge columns (Sep-Pak cartridges) containing silica-based adsorbents for SPE.
Demands for sample preparation led to the development of a specially-designed polymeric sorbent that performs optimally for reversed-phase SPE. The Oasis HLB copolymer with unique Hydrophilic-Lipophilic Balance is unlike traditional SPE sorbents.
Todays goals for modern solid-phase extraction (SPE) are faster throughput, higher recovery and reproducibility, and stronger retention and selectivity. Now SPE can outpace high-throughput techniques such as LC/MS/MS.
The Oasis HLB sorbent is a macroporous copolymer made from a balanced ratio of two monomers, the lipophilic divinylbenzene and the hydrophilic N-vinylpyrrolidone. It provides reversed-phase capability with a special polar hook for enhanced capture of polar analytes and excellent wettability.
High and Consistent RecoveriesOasis sorbents are water-wettable maintaining high retention and capacity for a wide spectrum of analytes, especially when the SPE column runs dry. W hen the sorbent pores dry out, the chromatographic retention (capture) of the analytes is reduced, resulting in poor recovery. Traditional, silica-based C18 sorbents can easily dry out, especially on a vacuum manifold if a particular cartridge flows quickly and allows air to be drawn in. Oasis sorbents maintain proper wetting for more consistent performance (especially important for 96-well plates). Even if air passes through, the Oasis pores do not dry out.

Pore Dewetting Mechanism of Sorbent Pores (Silica Based C18)
Properly Wetted Pore Dewetted Pore If air passes through traditional C18 cartridge the pores dry out.
When sample is loaded, the analytes are not retained resulting in poor recoveries.

Effect of Drying on RecoveryOasis HLB Versus C18 Sorbents
The variable recoveries seen with the C18 sorbents, due to the drying out effect, are often the cause for retests, reducing laboratory productivity. In some laboratories 10% of samples are reteststhis can be reduced using Oasis sorbents.
Also, Oasis sorbents retain polar compounds far better than bonded silica SPE sorbents. Note the poor recovery of the polar analyte Acetaminophen for C18. Oasis sorbents work especially well when you need to capture metabolites (see figure above).
High CapacityUse Less SorbentWhen transferring methods from a C18-bonded phase to Oasis products, keep in mind the greater capacity of the Oasis sorbent. The Oasis sorbent has 2-3X more surface area and shows a dramatic increase in k values compared to silica-based C18, This reduces breakthrough potential. In addition, you may be able to use 2/3 less sorbent than you would with C18 (30 mg Oasis HLB gives equivalent capacity to 100 mg C18).
Exceptional Batch-to-Batch ReproducibilityBecause of poor stability at pH extremes and relatively low ionic capacity traditional silica-based, mixed-mode sorbents dont have long-term batch-to-batch reproducibility and therefore require reservations of specific lots of sorbent for large projects. Oasis sorbents have demonstrated excellent long-term, batch-to-batch reproducibility for over ten years. As a result of careful process design and stringent quality controls, a new standard has been set in batch-to-batch and lot-to-lot reproducibility for SPE sorbents. The Oasis family of sorbents and devices are manufactured in a Waters ISO 9002 registered facility in compliance with cGMP guidelines of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for class 1 medical devices.
Multiple batches of each Oasis HLB, MCX, and MAX have been successfully used on validated bioanalytical assays in a regulated laboratory environment.
Higher Retention Means Greater Capacity, No Breakthrough
Data shown were obtained with two 3.9 x 150 mm columns, each packed with one of the sorbents, operated under the same conditions: mobile phase: 20 mM potassium phosphate, pH 7.0/methanol (95/5 v/v); temperature: 30 C;

Oasis HLB 1 cc/30 mg and 1 cc/100 mg C18 cartridges were conditioned on a Waters vacuum
manifold. When the methanol reached the top of the upper frit in each cartridge, vacuum was
maintained for different times to vary the cartridge drying time. The SPE protocol was then continued.
The data shown are the average of three replicate extractions.

Oasis MCX Mixed-Mode Cation eXchange and Reversed-Phase Sorbent for High Selectivity and Sensitivity for Basic Compounds
Obtain selective retention of basic drugs with cation-exchange groups on the sorbent surface. T he Oasis MCX sorbent has a tightly controlled ion-exchange capacity (1 meq/g). There are no silanol groups to complicate the retention mode or method development. T his novel, water-wettable, polymeric sorbent is stable from pH 0 to 14, making method development simple and fast.

Highly selective retention enables much stronger washes,resulting in very clean extracts.
Since this ion-exchange sorbent is synthesized from the reversed-phase Oasis HLB copolymer, it features two retention mechanisms (cation-exchange and reversed-phase) which can be manipulated very predictably (please refer to the Oasis MCX Retention Map).
T his Retention Map plots the total k or capacity (retention) of a basic analyte relative to pH. Note that the total k, is the sum of the two retention mechanisms. At low pH, the analyte is charged and experiences maximum retention primarily from the ion-exchange mechanism, however, there is also a slight amount of reversed-phase contribution for the combined reten-tion. If your goal is to capture basic analytes and then wash out interfer-ences aggressively, the Load and Wash steps should be at low pH to obtain maximum capture.
At high pH, the ion-exchange retention mechanism shuts-off because the analyte becomes un-ionized. Only reversed-phase retention is present, but since the analyte is now un-ionized, we get the maximum of the reversed-phase retention. We can elute with a combination of high pH and high organic concentration.

Oasis HLB sorbent makes it fast and easy to develop sample preparation methods that deliver high, reproducible recoveries especially suited to LC/MS/MS analysis by providing the required selectivity and sensitivity.
A Simple and Fast Generic SPE Reversed-Phase Protocol for Rapid Method Development for a Wide Range of Compounds (1-D)
Limitations of traditional silica-based sorbents make you evaluate several different bonded phases and brands to obtain acceptable results. With Oasis HLB, acidic, basic, and neutral compounds, whether polar or nonpolar, can be isolated reproducibly (RSDs 85%), using the same simple SPE protocol (see below).
This generic, 1-D method (1-Dimensional only the organic strength is changed) has proven useful for a wide variety of compound types and may be the only protocol required, reducing method development time.
Oasis HLB for Reversed-Phase SPE
Recommended Generic Oasis HLB SPE Method (1-D)*
Applying one or more of the following steps before loading your sample may improve your results:
Dilute sample 1:1 with buffer to improve flow during loading
** Add 20 L (H3PO4) to disrupt drug-protein interaction/ binding
Dilute 1:1 or greater with 0.1 N HCl or other acids
Filter through 0.45 m membrane
Centrifuge @ 3000 rpm

Oasis Sorbent Selection Plate: Evaluating Oasis 2x4 Method for Cephalexin
Oasis 2x4 Method Proof-of-Concept
To demonstrate the logic, simplicity, and effectiveness of the Oasis 2x4 Method, five rat plasma samples were prepared, each containing one of these characterized test analytes:
Imipramine, a base pKa of conjugate acid = 9.4
Ibuprofen, an acid pKa = 5.2
Decanesulfonic acid, a strong acid pKa < 0.5
Valethamate, a quaternary amine [strong base] pKa of conjugate acid > 12
Prednisone, a neutral compound
Each plasma sample was diluted [1:1, v/v] and acidified with phosphoric acid [4% in water]. Respective aliquots were then processed using the protocol
and the Oasis ion-mixed-mode sorbent designated by the Oasis 2x4 Method for the corresponding sample type. LC/MS/MS analysis was used to determine SPE recoveries.
T he neutral analyte was processed on all four sorbents, as shown on the previous page. Of the four
