Abstract
A method for removing an organic solute from a solution, comprising contacting the solution with a polymer formed by copolymerizing one or more hydrophobic monomers and one or more hydrophilic monomers, whereby the solute is adsorbed onto the polymer. The solution can comprise a polar solvent such as a polar organic solvent or water or an aqueous buffer. The hydrophobic monomer can be, for example, divinylbenzene. The hydrophilic monomer can be, for example, a heterocyclic monomer, such as a vinylpyridine or N-vinylpyrrolidone.
Claims8
A solid phase extraction cartridge comprising a water-wettable polymer packed inside an open-ended container, said polymer being formed by copolymerizing at least one hydrophobic monomer and at least one hydrophilic monomer and comprising from about 12 mole percent to about 30 mole percent of hydrophilic monomer.
