Whatman AutoVial 12mL Syringeless Filters
Manufacturer: Cytiva
AutoVial™ 12mL Syringeless Filters are preassembled filtration devices for removing particulates from samples. They replace syringe-coupled filtration devices with single, disposable units. Autovial™ devices are comprised of two parts: a graduated filter barrel and a plunger. The proven design features an integral filter, built-in air purge and a support stand that protects the recessed slip-luer tip. The Autovial™ filter is selected according to membrane compatibility with the sample. In practice, the sample is poured into the 12mL capacity filter barrel. A plunger is inserted into the barrel until the bottom is securely in place; there is a gap of air between the sample and plunger. Then, the tip of the Autovial™ is placed into the mouth of an autosampler vial or container and the plunger compressed. Filtration begins immediately and, as the plunger is compressed until it reaches the bottom, the membrane is purged with air for maximum sample recovery. For direct instrument injection, a needle is placed on the Autosampler slip-luer outlet.
