Press Release Body: Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc., the world leader in serving
science, announces the launch of the Thermo Scientific HyperSep Retain Polymeric
Solid Phase Extraction (SPE) range. Featuring unique functionalized polymer
chemistry, HyperSep Retain products deliver high recovery levels and high
reproducibility. HyperSep Retain SPE products provide sample preparation options for
a wide range of applications and provide enhanced retention for a wide range of
analyte types.

The Thermo Scientific HyperSep Retain range offers benefits over silica-based SPE
offerings. Fast method development can be achieved and problems associated with
material drying out after conditioning are eliminated. With the addition of the
HyperSep Retain polymeric-based range, Thermo Fisher now offers scientists an array
of products in varying formats and phases to meet the demands of their specific
chromatography analysis by providing faster throughput in chromatography analysis,
easier method development and enhanced selectivity in analysis.

HyperSep Retain is available in three chemistries: a polar-enhanced polymer material
for balanced retention of polar and non-polar compounds; cation exchange for
enhanced selectivity of basic compounds and anion exchange for enhanced selectivity
of acidic compounds.
