Degasser

HPLC, UPLC, and LC/MS analyses demand the highest purity solvents, free from dissolved gases that can interfere with sensitive detectors and baseline stability. Degassers are essential lab equipment components designed to remove these dissolved gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and carbon dioxide, from mobile phases. They typically employ vacuum degassing, membrane technology, or online sparging with an inert gas like helium to achieve efficient and continuous solvent degassing. This process minimizes noise, improves baseline stability, and enhances the accuracy of chromatographic separations, crucial for applications like pharmaceutical analysis, environmental monitoring, and food safety testing. Proper degassing ensures optimal performance and extends the lifespan of analytical columns, contributing to reliable and reproducible results in various scientific... + More
