Solvent Filter Assembly, SS

At Waters, we care deeply about the upkeep and maintenance of the LC-MS systems you purchase from us. That even extends to crucial LC system components, like solvent recovery bottles and various tubing. One part that’s easy to forget about maintaining is the Solvent Filter Assembly. This filter draws solvent to the bottom of your solvent bottle, then filters out any contaminants before dispensing solvent. But after repeated use of your LC system, the Solvent Filter Assembly should be replaced. This stainless-steel bottom-of-the-bottle filter is rigid and designed to withstand any pressures or caustic chemicals it may experience, but it should be replaced after repeated use. And if you require any other spare parts for your LC or MS systems, then you’ll find them all at Waters. We have a full line of spare parts all to help you with upkeep of your laboratory equipment. Order the Solvent Filter Assembly now, or ask your lab manager to include one in your lab’s next order from Waters.

What’s the function of the Solvent Filter Assembly?
This unique filter is fitted with a stainless-steel stem on top, which accommodates 1/16-inch I.D. tubing. The lower stem of the filter reaches very close to the bottom of the filter for the most available surface area for filtering purposes. What’s more, this filter can handle increased flow rates as high as 10 mL per minute. That kind of mechanical resistance to increased flow rates make it specially suited for use with LC systems. It’s important to note that the Solvent Filter Assembly shouldn’t be relied upon to clean very dirty solvent. Make sure the solvent you’re using doesn’t have visible particulate contaminants making it dirty.

If you need to replace the solvent bottle tray when replacing the Solvent Filter Assembly, then purchase the Solvent Bottle Tray. This tray holds four 1-liter bottles and all solvents should be placed above the gradient proportioning valve.
