Event Overview
The presence of antibiotics in aquatic environments is a growing analytical challenge, with trace-level contamination posing significant risks to ecosystems and contributing to antimicrobial resistance. Accurate, reliable and high-throughput sample preparation is therefore essential for effective water quality monitoring.
This presentation demonstrates the use of the Biotage® PrepXpert-8 automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) system for the simultaneous extraction and enrichment of multiple antibiotic classes, including fluoroquinolones, tetracyclines, sulfonamides and macrolides from water matrices.
We cover method development considerations, sorbent selection and the advantages of full automation in reducing operator variability and improving reproducibility. Quantitative data and method performance metrics are presented and discussed.
Whether you are new to SPE or looking to streamline existing workflows, this presentation offers practical insights for modern environmental water analysis.
Who should view it?
This presentation is ideal for analytical and environmental chemists, water quality scientists and laboratory managers working in environmental monitoring, regulatory compliance, or pharmaceutical research who are involved in trace-level contaminant analysis.
