purpose of this lab is to learn how SPE can be used to identify trace amounts of Vanillin. Stock solution of vanillin in water with concentration of 50 ppm was prepared. Four solutions with concentration of 5 ppm‚ 1 ppm‚ 0.5 ppm and 0.1 ppm were made from stock solution. UV-Vis spectra of standard solution was recorded at 229 nm and equal to 0.544 AU. Vanillin was separated on SPE cartridges using a 50% methanol and 50% water as eluting solvent. UV-Vis of blank‚ 1 ppm and 0.1 ppm vanillin sample was
