Additional Info:
58846-08-005 ARE‑Applied Research Mobile Phase Inlet Filters are high‑capacity, biocompatible solvent filtration devices engineered for HPLC, UHPLC, and LC‑MS mobile phase delivery systems, offering maximum solvent recovery, ultra‑low flow restriction, and reliable protection of critical system components.
These filters feature a “Last Drop” flat bottom‑draw design, allowing nearly complete use of mobile phase from reservoir bottles. This is especially valuable for high‑volume workflows, long analytical sequences, and expensive solvent systems, where minimizing waste and preventing system interruption is essential.
Each filter is constructed with a 10 µm PTFE filter element and an inert PEEK / PTFE wetted flow path, providing excellent chemical compatibility, minimal extractables, and long service life in demanding analytical environments.
