  • Patent number: 10837882
    Abstract: A binary cleanup device for sample pretreatment of compound analysis and a simplified sample pretreatment method using the binary cleanup device are disclosed. The simplified sample pretreatment method includes a homogenization step to crush the sample, an extraction/partition step to mix the crushed sample with a solvent and a salt reagent into a sample liquid, a filtration step to remove solid matters from the sample liquid, and a cleanup step to clean up the filtered sample liquid using a binary cleanup device, which is consisting of a liquid transfer device and a filter tube filled up with a cleanup agent. Draw a defined portion of the filtered sample extracts via the liquid transfer device, and then let the aspirated sample liquid pass through the cleanup agent of the filter tube. Thus, a single liquid transfer step that achieving accurate sampling and rapid cleanup, simultaneously.
