Conventional cylindrical filters can begin to draw air into the system when nearly 10% of the solvent remains in the reservoir. Our unique Last Drop filter with a flat filter element that sits parallel to the bottom of the reservoir. This design ensures all but the last 2% of the mobile phase is filtered without drawing air into the system.
Last Drop filters allow more analyses per batch of mobile phase and help reduce hazardous waste. Made from a 316 stainless, PTFE, or hydrophobic PE filter element pressed into an inert PTFE housing. The top of the housing has a 1/4-28 nut and ferrule or a stepped PEEK fitting connector that slips into 1.5 mm, 2.2 mm, or 3.5 mm ID pump inlet lines.
