FAQs of Mobile Phase Filtration Assembly With Buckner Funnel:
Q: How do I assemble and use the Mobile Phase Filtration Assembly with Buckner Funnel?
A: Begin by placing the filter support (either stainless steel mesh or sintered disc) in the Buckner funnel, then position the filter paper (90 mm or other compatible size) on top. Fit the silicone gasket around the funnel and secure it to the conical flask with the stainless steel spring clamp. Connect the side-arm to a vacuum pump using 8 mm tubing, add your solution, and apply vacuum to start filtration.
Q: What are the main benefits of this filtration assembly for HPLC mobile phase preparation?
A: This assembly ensures fine particulate removal with high reproducibility and resistance to chemical contamination, resulting in clean, reliable mobile phases for HPLC. Its chemically resistant materials and leak-proof design enhance precision while supporting a wide range of solvents and strong cleaning protocols, including autoclaving.
Q: When should I utilize the stainless steel mesh versus the sintered disc as a filter support?
A: Choose the stainless steel mesh when filtering larger volumes or where faster flow rates are desired. Use the sintered disc for finer filtration and when maximum retention of small particulates is crucial, ensuring optimal results according to your samples requirements.
Q: Where can I use this filtration assembly within the laboratory?
A: The assembly is well-suited for analytical chemistry, sample preparation, and routine filtration of solvents or aqueous solutions in any standard laboratory environment, particularly where HPLC, mobile phase, or precise particulate removal is needed.
Q: What process should I follow to clean and sterilize the glass components?
A: After use, disassemble the filtration parts. Wash all glass components with suitable detergents, rinse thoroughly, and sterilize by autoclaving at temperatures up to 180C as needed. Ensure all silicone and stainless steel parts are also properly cleaned according to laboratory protocols.
Q: Is the assembly compatible with all vacuum pumps and tubing?
A: This unit features a side-arm vacuum connection tailored for 8 mm tubing, making it compatible with most laboratory vacuum pumps and standard tubing sizes. Ensure you use tubing with the correct internal diameter to maintain a leak-proof vacuum seal.
