Ergonomic and efficient filtration for food analytics

22 Apr 2020

In food analytics, clarification by membrane filtration is often an important step in sample preparation for processes like HPLC. Designed for parallel processing of up to eight samples, the Claristep filtration system was examined in this application note to determine its suitability for the filtration of food samples.

Claristep® filtration system

Sartorius Group

Claristep® is a filtration system designed to save you both time and effort. Thanks to the patented design of the Claristep® station, you can now quickly and easily filter up to eight 60 μL to 600 μL HPLC samples in parallel using one hand – without the need for AC power, vacuum pumps or syringes.

UHPLC and HPLCHigh performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC), also known as UPLC, are analytical techniques used to separate, identify and quantitate components of complex mixtures including biological samples such as proteins and lipids as well as chemical mixtures of pesticides, drugs and oils. Both techniques are liquid chromatographic methods but differ by operating pressures (HPLC < 6000 psi < UHPLC ). Components of HPLC and UHPLC systems include columns, detectors, pumps, autosamplers and column heaters. Explore a range of UHPLC and HPLC columns for your specific sample needs including reverse phase, normal phase, ion exchange, HILIC, ion exclusion and size exclusion columns. For more specialized HPLC, explore FPLC, countercurrent LC and simulated moving bed systems.

Explore a range of filter formats, including filter paper, plates and membranes for your separation needs. While larger particulates may be separated by gravity filtration, smaller particulates may require additional force for timely separation. Microfiltration equipment includes vacuum filters, as well as positive pressure, crossflow and centrifugal filtration devices.
