Cytiva Inline Filter, Whatman Aqueous IFD, 50mm Diameter, 0.2um Pore Size, Nylon, Include O-Rings: 1/32"-5/32", pack/10

Whatman Aqueous IFD from Cytiva is a polypropylene housed in-line filter/degasser (IFD) with nylon membrane. It connects to an HPLC line to simultaneously filter and degasses during mobile phase preparation.

• Faster than traditional methods of HPLC mobile phase preparation, saving time in the laboratory
• Provides pure filtration of aqueous mobile phases without expensive degassing equipment
• Chemically resistant polypropylene construction enables reliable filtration
• Can be integrity-tested with the bubble point method
• Includes compression end fittings – for replacements, see our IFD end fitting kit
• Recyclable after use. Learn how you can recycle it.

Aqueous IFD for HPLC mobile phase preparation
The Aqueous IFD is designed to work as an in-line filter with mobile phases containing at least 20% of the aqueous component. It has a 0.2 µm hydrophilic nylon membrane to support aqueous-based HPLC mobile phase preparation.

In-line filter construction and function
Whatman Aqueous IFD have a polypropylene housing sealed by a security ring, fittings to accommodate 1/16”-1/8” tubing, and an air vent on the inlet with luer lock cap to enable priming.

An in-line filter works on the principle of "bubble point" – the point of pressure at which gases will pass through a wet membrane. If pressure is maintained below the bubble point, the gas will not pass through the membrane and is trapped by the filter device.
