The Acrodisc One™ Syringe Filter with wwPTFE Membrane Compared to Syringe Filters with Regenerated Cellulose Membrane

Introduction

In many laboratories, the need to consistently generate high-quality data means that laboratory managers and technicians need to ensure their instruments are performing optimally around the clock. Filtering samples before injection into a chromatography instrument is one of the primary ways that an analyst can protect their column and instrument from unnecessary wear and excess downtime. Filtration of both the sample and mobile phase prior to analysis helps increase the lifespan of chromatography columns reducing overall instrument wear and removing any particles that may interfere with the chromatogram. Sample filtration is most often performed using syringe filters as it is time effective and easy to implement method.
