Supplied non-sterile in 200\/Bag format, the 208-3377-050 provides the maximum sorbent bed volume of the standard Caplugs® Evergreen column line — ideal for preparative-scale SPE, high-volume environmental sampling, and complex-matrix extraction workflows where shorter-bed columns deliver insufficient retention or wash-step separation. The integrated filter disk is molded directly into the column body, eliminating adhesive extractables at the frit interface and ensuring compatibility with sensitive downstream LC-MS and enzyme-based detection methods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValue\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number (MPN)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e208-3377-050\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBody Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e7\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFilter Grade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMedium (45–90 µm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolystyrene (PS)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eColor\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSterility\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNon-Sterile\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePack Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e200\/Bag\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBPA \/ Phthalate\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBPA-Free, Phthalate-Free\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eApplications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePreparative-scale solid-phase extraction (SPE) requiring maximum sorbent bed volume\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-volume environmental water sampling and cleanup prior to GC-MS or LC-MS analysis\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerum and plasma extraction for bioanalytical and clinical research workflows\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModerately turbid urine sample processing where balanced flow and clarity are required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSoil and sediment Soxhlet extract cleanup for complex-matrix retention\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFood and agricultural residue QC — pesticide, mycotoxin, and veterinary drug preparation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePharmaceutical preparative fraction collection and scale-up from smaller-format columns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-volume plasma and urine extract fractionation for research and bioanalytical scale-up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 7-inch column body of the 208-3377-050 fits standard large-format SPE vacuum manifolds (20-port and 24-port tube-format configurations) as well as gravity-flow bench stands designed to accept a 7-inch column holder. The medium filter grade (45–90 µm) provides the balanced flow rate and filtrate clarity suited for routine manifold operation under both vacuum and gravity conditions. Laboratories scaling up methods from 5-inch columns can use the 7-inch bed directly, as the larger format accommodates 1–5 L sample loads without analyte breakthrough.
