GE Whatman Filtration for HPLC Sample Preparation
Simplify sample preparation with the Whatman™ regenerated cellulose membrane portfolio from GE Healthcare
Please find in the training section, interesting papers relating to analytical HPLC from GE
Accurate. Reliable. Fast
- Reduce cost with well-designed devices – the regenerated cellulose (RC) family includes products for robotic sample handing, outside-of-lab sample preparation, certified method development, and working with hard-to-filter samples.
- Increase accuracy with reliable, repeatable results – The RC family is demonstrated to have extremely low levels of chemical extractables that could interfere with analysis. Products are available to retain a variety of particle sizes.
- Save time with multifunctional products – reduce time spent deciding which membrane type to use for your sample preparation. The RC membrane is broadly compatible with common HPLC sample solvents and mobile phases.
- Improve efficiency with ready-to-use products – RC products are supplied ready for use. The hydrophilic, low-protein binding RC membrane is suitable for a wide variety of HPLC applications.

Mobile phase filtration
Whatman RC55 and GV 050/2 vacuum filtration unit for solvent filtration
Use the same material for mobile phase filtration and sample filtration to:
- Reduce variation of analysis
- Reduce rate of column clogging
- Enhance lifetime of column
- Nylon – when mobile phase is > 20% aqueous
- Polypropylene – for non-aqueous solvents
