Flat film degasser improves efficiency and solvent compatibility

Biotech Fluidics has introduced a new advance in fluidic degassing technology with the launch of its high-performance DEGASi® Flat Film in-line degasser.

Unlike conventional systems that rely on tubular membranes, the new design uses a specialised flat film to remove dissolved gases from liquid streams. This approach delivers enhanced degassing efficiency while improving compatibility with viscous samples and a wide range of organic solvents.

The system features a chemically inert, metal-free flow path, making DEGASi® Flat Film units fully biocompatible. In addition, their design reduces PFAS content to around one tenth of that found in standard tubular degassers, supporting improved sustainability performance.

Greater degassing efficiency also allows operation at higher vacuum set points, helping to remove gases from volatile solvents while minimising evaporation into the laboratory environment.

The technology is available as a standalone unit or as an OEM component. Its low flow resistance enables multiple chambers - up to six in series - to be used for higher flow rate applications in HPLC and process workflows, without compromising performance.

Compact in design, the system is paired with Biotech Fluidics’ latest Degasser Vacuum Control unit, incorporating fifth-generation StabiliX pumps. These deliver highly stable vacuum performance, reduced noise levels, and extended operational lifetime.
