“…mainly hydrophobic and/or electrostatic interactions favored in aqueous media. The comparison of the retention of the target analyte on the IS/OS with the nongrafted solid-support, named control sorbent (17,21,34,36,37,(40)(41)(42)(44)(45)(46)(47)70,71,(73)(74)(75)(76)84), or grafted with another antibody/oligonucleotide sequence, having no affinity for the target (18,21,25,34,36,37,42,47,48,54,55,70,84), is now often reported to evaluate the contribution of these NSIs. The use of these sorbents in parallel to IS/OS is particularly helpful for optimizing the washing step and then obtaining an optimal selectivity (48,57).…”
