New Disposable Filter for AA & ICP Analysis

SCP SCIENCE, a leading manufacturer of products for atomic spectroscopy laboratories, launches DigiFILTER - a productivity aid for sample preparation.

This patent-pending, disposable filter, available with Teflon^® membranes of 0.45 or 1.0-micron porosity fitted into a metal free polypropylene housing, fits easily into a laboratory’s sample preparation routine when digesting samples for ICP or AA analysis.

To operate, simply attach the disposable filter to the threaded end of a DigiTUBE digestion tube and insert into the luer connector from the vacuum manifold. Within seconds, a sample is completely filtered with no entrapment of residual sample avoiding the pitfall of other systems where the entrapped, acidified samples must be considered as dangerous material for disposal.

Users will appreciate the simplicity and ease of use while ensuring that their expensive ICP nebulisation systems are unaffected by particle damage.

A DigiFILTER system includes 0.45 or 1.0 micron DigiFILTERs, DigiTUBE digestion tubes, a vacuum manifold and a vacuum source.
