OPTI-MAX® Cartridge Check Valves are designed to offer maximum performance and ease of use. From the sharp, consistent threads on OPTI-MAX® custom housings, to the exacting standards used to match ball/seat sets in OPTI-MAX® cartridges, every aspect of design and manufacturing reflects an unavoidable fact: when it comes to reliable check valve operation, quality and precision make a big difference. OPTI-MAX® check valves offer…

OPTI-SOLV® Reservoir Filters employ a unique conical design inside the filter housing to prevent air bubbles from getting trapped and disturbing your analysis. While the availability of HPLC-grade solvents diminishes the need for pre-filtering, it is still imperative that a filtration device be installed in the reservoir. Placing a filter in the reservoir is an economical way to filter particles that may result from buffer sal…

A solid PTFE body keeps OPTI-SOLV® filter at the base of the bottle where a bottom-mounted titanium frit provides unrestricted solvent access. As always, Optimize makes installation as simple as possible - no tools or fittings required and includes 5 feet of pre-installed PTFE tubing. OPTI-SOLV Reservoir Filters employ a unique conical design inside the filter housing to prevent air bubbles from getting trapped and disturbing…

The OPTI-SOLV® Mini Filter provides low-impact filtration in a package no larger than a finger tight fitting. Use them to extend the life of your analytical column, or before your mass spectrometer as a last line of defense against debris. Perfect zero-dead-volume connections are obtained every time with our patented automatic tube stop depth adjustment. Unique depth-filtering elements allow for greater capacity with no band s…
