Separations is a fundamental scientific discipline focused on the isolation and purification of components from mixtures. Through techniques such as chromatography, distillation, and filtration, separations scientists separate substances based on their physical or chemical properties. This field plays a crucial role in various industries, including pharmaceuticals, food and beverage testing, environmental science, materials research, and more. Explore how separations techniques enable precise analysis, quality control, and the development of innovative products.
For your volume critical filtering needs, we now offer the OPTI-SOLV® Micro Filter. Based on the same design that has made the Mini Filter a huge success, the Micro Filter cuts the internal volume to less than 200 nL but retains the ease of use and functionality of the Mini Filter.
