Preparing samples by clarification is an essential step prior to nearly all analytical techniques, such as high pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC). This filtration step to eliminate particles is crucial for maintaining the integrity of chromatography columns and for maximizing their operating life time. In addition, as the sensitivity of automated analytical instruments continues to improve, they increasingly require less volume to operate in order to maximize throughput.
Fast small-volume clarification that does not add leachables or extractables to the original sample is indispensable for achieving the best analytical results. To meet these requirements, Sartorius, a pharma and lab equipment supplier, has developed a new, easy-to-use and straightforward filtration setup. The manually operated Claristep® filtration system consisting of a station and filter units offers a novel way for clarifying your samples prior to analysis.
The Claristep® station consists of a base, a lid and an exchangeable tray for easy and accurate ...
