Optimizing Sample Preparation - Filtration

Sample preparation is required for a number of reasons, including rendering the sample in the correct format for the analysis type (e.g. when the sample is too dilute, too dirty, or has an incompatible sample matrix), to reduce spurious peaks by removing interferences or matrix components, improvement of analyte peak shape, generation of robust analytical methods, increased column lifetime and instrument up-time.

This quick guide will provides hints and tips for optimizing filtration using syringe end filters.
