Abstract: A non-combustible aerosol provision device for generating an aerosol from an aerosol-generating material is provided. The device includes a chamber for receiving a consumable including aerosol-generating material to enable the non-combustible aerosol provision device to generate an aerosol from the aerosol-generating material. The device further includes an adjustment mechanism to allow a user to adjust a dimension of the chamber to allow the chamber to accommodate, one at a time, each of a plurality of consumables having different sizes.

Abstract: A non-combustible aerosol provision device for generating an aerosol from aerosol-generating material included in a consumable, the non-combustible aerosol provision device having: a receptacle for receiving the consumable; and an adaptor configured to adapt the non-combustible aerosol provision device by varying an effective length of the receptacle such that each of a plurality consumables of different lengths, which are individually receivable in the receptacle, when received in the receptacle for use, protrude from the non-combustible aerosol provision device by substantially equal amounts.

Abstract: A non-combustible aerosol provision device for generating an aerosol from aerosol-generating material in a consumable is disclosed. The non-combustible aerosol provision device includes a retention apparatus configured to hold in position, one at a time, each of the plurality of consumables comprising aerosol-generating material of different sizes.

Abstract: In various aspects, the present disclosure pertains to methods of performing a sample enrichment procedure, which comprise: adding a sample fluid that comprises at least one phospholipid and at least one target analyte to a sorbent that comprises a hydrophobic component and a cation exchange component, thereby resulting in sorbent with bound phospholipid and bound target analyte; adding an aqueous solution comprising an acidic compound and a salt; adding an organic solution to the sorbent thereby desorbing at least a portion of the bound phospholipid from the sorbent; and adding an elution solution to the sorbent, thereby desorbing at least a portion of the bound target analyte from the sorbent and forming a solution of the target analyte in the elution solution. In other aspects, the present disclosure pertains to kits, which may be used in conjunction with such methods.
