Millex Samplicity^® Filter

"Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) are being increasingly used in analysis of samples, not only in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries, but also more generally in the analysis, identification and quantitation of complex samples containing low levels of analytes. The advantages of LC-MS or GC-MS over other analytical techniques include high sensitivityand specificity for analyte detection and quantitation."

In this application note, we present data showing that the Samplicity® system can be used for filtration of smaller volume samples into HPLC vials containing inserts. Syringe filters prove less efficient for users typically filtering 10 – 100 samples a day (65 – 70% of users). For these users, the Samplicity® multifiltration system facilitates sample preparation by enabling vacuum-driven filtration of up to eight samples directly into standard (12 x 32 mm) HPLC vials. The Samplicity® system has been used widely to filter 300 μL – 2 mL samples into HPLC vials without inserts.
