In this seminar, Dr. Vivek Joshi, of EMD Millipore, reviews filtration properties and chemical compatibility of different membrane materials. The importance of sample and mobile phase filtration prior to HPLC analysis will be discussed with supportive data. Tips and tricks for reducing extractables and nonspecific analyte binding  also will be discussed. Moreover, throughput will be addressed, with recommendations for choosing sample preparation platforms based on number of samples and sample volume. Key Learning Objectives: Why filtration of samples and mobile phases is important for HPLC/UHPLC Selection criteria for HPLC/UHPLC filters Strategies for meeting sample preparation throughput needs Who Should Attend: Anyone performing chromatographic analyses for applications in life science, pharmaceutical products analysis, food and beverage analysis and environmental and industrial monitoring.
