                                 Q-Fil Filters ImageQ-Fil Syringe Filters Catalogue Cover Image      Q-Fil Membrane Filters Catalogue Image

The main source of particle contamination in HPLC columns originate in the sample to be analysed. Therefore, the final preparation step prior to sample injection into the HPLC instrument is to remove any small particulates from the sample by filtration. Removal of the solid materials is very important as they can interfere with the compound of interest and easily clog up the column being used. This will inevitably have a detrimental effect on the performance of the column, i.e. back pressure, peak size, retention time, peak shape. Severe contamination can lead to the column being irreversibly blocked and therefore having to be replaced. Other costs can include instrument downtime, and the loss of valuable samples.

Sample Types

Samples differ in a variety of ways, they may be heavily loaded with fine or coarse particulates, dissolved in aqueous or organic solvents with varying viscosities. To facilitate the most appropriate sample preparation result, filters should be optimised to match the particular requirements of each kind of sample being injected.

Standard Samples

A matrix of 5-10mL is the most common sample volume, with low viscosity, low particle contamination and dissolved in either an organic or an aqueous solvent. Greyhound Q-Fil Regenerated Cellulose Syringe Filters are an excellent choice for such samples. Their inert housing manufactured from high density medical grade virgin polypropylene, complete with the integrated Regenerated Cellulose (RC) membrane has a high chemical resistance against the most common HPLC solvents and is very suitable for aqueous samples. Every batch is HPLC-tested for low extractables. Whilst 0.45µm is the most commonly used membrane porosity, the 0.22µm membrane provides improved purity when using capillary columns or HPLC packings with a particle size of 3µm or less.

Demanding Samples

More difficult samples which contain high loads of particulates, high viscosity or unusually high volumes place additional challenges on the user when preparing samples for HPLC analysis. The particles have a tendency to block the filter, high viscosities will decrease the flow rate and high volumes increase the time required to complete the filtration process. These challenges often result in the user applying a greater degree of manual pressure to the process and potentially exceeding the maximum pressure limit of the filter with a subsequent risk of bursting the housing. As a result, the sample will be lost and a potential safety risk can arise if corrosive solvents or harmful chemicals are being filtered. To assist in overcoming these challenges, the use of Q-Fil Syringe Filters with a built in Glass Microfiber pre-filter are recommended. The pre-filter removes the larger particulates from the sample leaving only the smaller particulates to be filtered by the membrane. These filters increase the flow rate through the unit resulting in a higher volume of sample to be filtered and less pressure being required by the user.

Small Volume Samples

Smaller volume samples are often valuable and require special attention. Any loss of the analyte due to adsorption by the filter membrane or housing or a large dead volume can have a detrimental effect on the analysis. Smaller filters of 13mm and 4mm diameter decrease the dead volume to less than 25uL and 8uL respectively making them ideal for smaller volume samples.

Summary

Sample filtration is an important factor in ensuring that HPLC analysis is achieved in an efficient and cost-effective way. The extensive range of Q-Fil Syringe Filters have been developed to meet the demands of the analyst and the different sample matrices being used and without losing any of the important sample.

Quality is an Important Factor

Greyhound ensures that every batch of filters is manufactured and tested in accordance with strict ISO 9001:2000 quality procedures.

Greyhound ensures that each batch is checked prior to release for:

- External Dimensions - Bubble Point - Water Flow Rate - UV Extractables - Burst Pressure and compliance - Filter Integrity.

Choosing a filter on price against quality is not cost effective in the long run.  Although higher spec filters may seem expensive it is false economy to choose cheaper filters as their fail rate is much higher, causing delays in the laboratory.

Q-Fil Syringe Filters

How to choose the right syringe filter for your application

  •          Choose the size of filter based on the volume of sample to be filtered
  •          Choose the filters porosity based on the size of the potential particulates in the sample. It is important to be aware that the finer the porosity of the membrane the greater the pressure will be required to pass the sample through the filter. A sample containing large quantities of particulates is best filtered using a filter with a built-in glass microfiber pre-filter
  •          Choose the type of membrane based on the solvent being filtered

 Yellow Syringe Filters Image

 Pore Sizes

Q-Fil Syringe Filters are available in 0.22µm and 0.45µm pore sizes, (other pore sizes are available on request). The 0.22µm filters remove the smallest particulates whilst the 0.45µm filters are designed to remove particulates which would be detrimental to most analytical columns.

Pre-filters have a glass microfiber membrane which is chemically inert and resists most solvents. Q-Fil glass microfiber pre-filters are recommended for removing large particulates from the sample and are ideal for dissolution tests.

 Syringe Filters with Glass Microfiber Pre-Filter 

  • These filters have the same high-quality filter membranes and polypropylene housings as our other Q-Fil Syringe Filters, but include a Glass Microfiber (GMF) membrane used as a pre-filter  
  • The glass microfiber pre-filter is mounted before the microporous filter membrane, eliminating the need for a pre-filtration step, minimising sample loss and prolonging the life of the filter membrane
  • Flow rates are increased and the filtrate volume is significantly greater when compared to filters without pre-filters
  • Flow rates are increased and the filtrate volume is significantly greater when compared to filters without pre-filters
  • Regenerated Cellulose membrane filters with the GMF membrane incorporated as a pre-filter, are particularly useful for tissue culture media filtration, as well as for general biological sample filtration
  • These filters are ideal for general laboratory filtration of samples which contain excessive amounts of particulates
  • The glass microfiber pre-filter removes the large particulates and prevents premature clogging of the filter membrane

PFAS and Other Toxic Forever Chemicals in Drinking Water 

Wellington Laboratories Logo

Images of Drinking Water

For over 30 years the European Union have worked tirelessly to protect the integrity of our drinking water.  EU officials have recently reached a provisional agreement to update the Union's 1998 Drinking Water Directive to tighten up the permissible limits allowed for both PFAS and several other drinking water contaminants, including bisphenol-A, microplastics, lead and chromium.   The at the time of writing the European Parliament and Council are still to formally approve the proposal. 

European drinking water standards currently far exceed the standards set in the United States but this is a changing picture as state by state new instances of contaminants are emerging.  Currently, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has only issued a nonenforceable health advisory of 70 ppt for PFOA, formerly used by DuPont to make Teflon, and PFOS, formerly an ingredient in 3M’s Scotchgard. Those compounds are no longer manufactured in the U.S., but they and other PFAS contaminate the drinking water for an estimated 110 million Americans. PFOA, PFOS and some other PFAS chemicals have been linked to cancer, thyroid disease, reproductive and immune system problems, and other health harms.

The european Parliament and the Council of the European Union have released new requirements for the analysis of per- and perfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in water intended for human consumption (5813/20).  This amendment to Council Directive 98/83/EC included perfluoroalkanesulfonates that are not commercially available.  In response to this Wellington Labroatories, Canada, is pleased to announce that its chemists have synthesized, purified, characterized and prepared accurate certified reference standards of the required substances: sodium perfluoro-1-undecanesulfonate (L-PFUds) and sodium perfluoro-1-tridecanesulfonate (L-PFTrDS).  Wellington Laboratories have also prepared a native solution/mixture (EU-5813-NSS) that contains all of the PFAS listed in the drinking water directive (5813/20) for your convenience.  This solution/mixture can be used in conjunction with two of Wellington's existing mass-labelled PFAS mixtures to easily prepare a calibration set for quantification.

ChemSec is an international non-profit organization that works to phase out harmful chemicals in favor of safe alternatives. In their work, ChemSec wants to create a strong link between researchers, decision makers and companies in the fight against harmful chemicals. By joining ChemSec's PFAS movement, companies commit to work towards getting all PFAS chemicals covered by EU’s chemicals legislation, REACH, which lists the harmful chemicals banned from use in the EU, phased out from supply chains.

Like a number of other large companies, Greyhound Chromatography has joined the Swedish non-profit organization ChemSecs PFAS movement. The movement is working to have a number of harmful fluorinated compounds – known as “forever chemicals”, since they don’t degrade – phased out and banned.
