Mobile phase inlet filter stones provide high purity solvent filtration using sintered stainless steel or porous polyethylene filters engineered to protect. These filters support cleaner solvents, reduced instrument wear, and more reliable chromatographic performance.
Key features:
- High purity construction: Available in sintered stainless steel or porous polyethylene, ensuring effective particulate removal before the pump.
- Versatile connectivity: ‘Tripod’ PEEK connector accepts 1/8" or 1/16" tubing for vacuum or pressure based filtration and sparging.
- Cost-effective and durable: Lower cost than instrument manufacturer filters with strong chemical resistance and long service life - especially the passivated stainless steel versions.
Why labs use these:
- Protects pumps, valves, and columns by preventing particulate ingress and reducing mechanical wear.
- Ensures cleaner, more consistent chromatography by maintaining solvent purity.
- Reduces operating costs through longer filter lifetimes and fewer component replacements.
