Faster Sample Filtration for HPLC with a Vacuum-Driven Multi-Sample Device

7 May 2017

Sample prefiltration is an important process that removes contaminants from samples for High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) prior to analysis. This application note describes the development of the Samplicity® G2 Filtration system to reduce hands-on time associated with preparing multiple samples and provide a simple, ergonomic workflow. It details data which shows that the Samplicity® G2 Filtration system gives a time saving of least 28% when preparing eight samples.

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.
