Consistent and reproducible sample preparation techniques are key to optimal mass spectrometric data acquisition. Contaminating substances such as polyethylene glycol (PEG) from plastic sources can obscure sample peaks in LC-MS analysis. The ability to perform sample clean up before loading the sample for analysis can ease bottlenecks and prevent column fouling. Here, we present a method for off-line ion-exchange clean up of samples using a modification of the ProTrap XG. The ProTrap XG is a two-stage filtration cartridge that facilitates
sample precipitation and detergent removal. The filtration cartridge offers up to 99.8% purity and 95% recovery through acetone precipitation. An optional solid-phase extraction cartridge further cleans up the sample.
