Acrodisc Syringe Filters – Critical for Analytical

Reliable Results with Superior Protection

 

Whether pursuing analytical goals in life science, pharmaceutical methods, research and development, quality control, or environmental applications, Pall’s sample prep Acrodisc® syringe filters offer reliable and reproducible results. Our HPLC, LCMS and IC certified Acrodisc syringe filters efficiently remove particulate contamination from samples, protecting instruments and preventing costly system maintenance and premature column replacement.

 

Pall’s superior media separation technology ensures:

 

  • Accurate pore size ratings for better chromatography, and instrument and column protection.
  • Uniform membrane materials (lot-to-lot) for consistent analytical results.
  • Materials of construction selected specifically for analytical analysis with lower extractables and lower API adsorption.

 

Acrodisc PSF syringe filters are available featuring membranes and pore size configurations to ensure the best compatibility with your sample and application requirements.

Scientific Poster: Considerations for Proper Syringe Filter Selection

 

In many laboratories, the need to consistently generate high-quality data means that laboratory managers and technicians must 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.

Sample filtration performed using syringe filters is an effective and easy method, however, considerations such as retention efficiency and potential extractables must be made.

Application Note: Improve HPLC Performance with Filtration and the Increased Benefit of Using Pre-Filtration Technologies

Sample conditions can vary drastically based upon the starting material and steps performed to prepare them for analysis. Some of these samples can have high particle counts, be difficult to filter and reduce HPLC instrument performance and results. There are several methods an analyst can use to process difficult to filter samples. By using a syringe filter with an integrated prefilter, throughput can be increased by 29% without the added time and risk of using dilution or centrifugation techniques.

LCMS and Ion Chromatography Acrodisc Syringe Filters

 

For LCMS applications Pall supplies the MS Acrodisc syringe filters that are certified with extremely low levels of extractables and feature low ion suppression/enhancement. They are available in both 13 mm and 25 mm formats and contain a water-wettable PTFE membrane with HDPE housing for excellent chemical compatibility that can be used with both organic and aqueous solvents.

 

Pall’s IC Acrodisc syringe filters have been optimized for ion chromatography sample preparation applications. Available in both 13 mm and 25 mm formats, the syringe filters contain a hydrophilic polyethersulfone (PES) membrane that has undergone several washing steps ensuring the product has low conductivity detectable extractables.
