I am monitoring the degradation of contaminants using immobilized enzymes on carbon support. However, to complete the mass balance of the degraded reactant, I have to perform a mass balance on both the solid and liquid phases. Is there a method for solid-phase extraction (SPE) that can extract the degradation reactants and products without affecting the immobilized enzymes? Previously, I've used vortexing for SPE (for other types of experiments not involving enzymes) but think doing so will also remove the enzyme. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
