The Acrodisc MS syringe filter, developed specially for LCMS applications, improves the performance and operating life of LCMS instruments and enhances the precision of testing. Its low extractable levels reduce interaction with the ionization process and decrease the necessity for retesting. This reduces expenditures, while decreasing the downtime caused by sudden contamination.
In order to deliver superior performance, product tubes are separately packed, thus protecting the filters that are not being currently used, from outside contamination. The Acrodisc MS syringe filter can be utilized with both aqueous and organic solvents, as it is built with a novel WWPTFE membrane of Pall in a housing made of high-density polyethylene. It provides lower protein adsorption, better particulate retention and superior chemical resistance, which allow it to protect columns of instrument from particulate accumulation and lowers the cost of frequency of replacement. It also allows a more steady performance of LCMS testing.
Pall Global Lab Products’ Senior Vice President, Larry O’Connell stated that the company’s Acrodisc MS syringe filter is the latest member of its extensive range of syringe filters and is the first LCMS-certified syringe filter for low extractables. It will improve the cost, consistency and accuracy of superior performance LCMS testing and can be used in a wide range of applications, he added.
