Rinse a silica gel solid-phase extraction cartridge (5.8) with 5 mL of a mixed solvent of n-hexane and dichloromethane (5.9). Transfer the sonicated solution to the silica gel solid-phase extraction cartridge (5.8) for purification; wash the sample twice with 20 mL of a mixed solvent of n-hexane and dichloromethane (5.9), and the cleaning solution shall be all passed through the silica gel solid-phase extraction cartridge (5.8) for purification.
