A housing is described for use in preparing a sample for chemical analysis, the housing having a sample entrance, a sample exit, and a passageway therebetween; the housing further comprising at least three ridges, the ridges integral with the housing, depending into the passageway, and defining a supporting profile for holding a sorbent retaining member.

Microcolumn for use in sample extraction

A new method for the preparation of aminopropyl terminated or internal functionalized polyalkyl or aryl siloxanes is described. The method involves readily available commercial starting materials and proceeds under mild conditions in high yield. Purification is facilitated over present commercial procedures and a wider variety of internal functionalized siloxanes may be prepared. The method involves hydrosilation of commercially availably alkyl or aryl functional hydrosilicones with allyl amine or other alkenyl or arenyl amine in the presence of platinum (0) divinyltetramethylsiloxane or platinum (0) cyclovinyl complexes.

Method for the preparation of aminopropyl or aminoalkyl functional polyalkyl or aryl siloxanes

A treated silica composition particularly useful for solid phase extraction in chemical analysis, the silica having both phenyl and propylsulfonic acid functional groups; a cartridge for extraction which comprises the treated silica; a column for extraction which comprises the treated silica; and a method for solid phase extraction which uses the silica composition. A method for analysis of gamma hydroxybutyric acid is also disclosed which uses the treated silica.
