"Hi-purit MCX SPE cartridges" are likely referring to solid phase extraction (SPE) cartridges made by a company (possibly Hi-purit is the brand or line), and MCX stands for Mixed-Mode Cation Exchange.
MCX (Mixed-mode Cation eXchange) SPE cartridges combine:
Reverse-phase retention (like C18)
Strong cation-exchange (SCX) functionalities
They are especially useful for compounds that are:
Basic (contain amine groups)
Hydrophobic
Typical Uses of Hi-purit MCX SPE Cartridges:
Sample cleanup and concentration
Remove unwanted matrix compounds before LC-MS or GC-MS analysis.
Extraction of basic drugs and metabolites
Widely used in pharmaceutical, forensic, and clinical labs.
Useful for extracting analytes from plasma, serum, urine, or tissue homogenates.
Environmental analysis
For extracting amine-based pollutants or contaminants from water or soil.
Food safety and residue analysis
