FilmDegasser
High Efficiency,Constant Performance
HPLC Degassing

Take Control of Your HPLC Degassing Methods
with a Film Degasser from IDEX Health & Science
Our Film Degasser uses patented, cutting-edge technology thatgives you powerful performance control with increased solvent
compatibility. Utilizing a high-efficiency membrane and unique flow
channel design, it provides the lowest fluidic resistance in the industry.
In an unprecedented leap indegassing technology, our experts
have pushed the limits of what'spossible when it comes to highperformance liquid chromatography.
Engineered using a flat film format,
our Film Degasser ensures fluidic
instrument precision and reliability,and delivers a transformative
constant-performance vacuum
design that expands thecapability of your system.

More performance. More efficiency. More control.
Powerful Performance Control

Extended Dynamic Range

Our Film Degasser uses a patent-pending algorithm
that allows you to select a fixed degassing efficiency
with any HPLC separation method. This enablesconsistent operation to reduce pervaporation andassociated concentration changes. It also gives you
the ability to select a given efficiency for any HPLCsystem, which you can program to get the exact
specification you need for every application.

The flat film format is much thinner than a traditional
lumen tube, which makes it proportionately more efficient.
The patented design also has a complete non-metal flow
path that enables universal application of a single typeof degasser for multiple types of HPLC Systems. You can
now leverage the Film Degasser to get the lowest flow
restrictions and achieve the highest HPLC degassing
efficiency with improved solvent compatibility.

With reinforced Teflon™ AF film,
the degassing chamber has ametal-free flow path and universal
solvent compatibility, which
includes HFIP and Hexane

Liquid flows across the film in a thinlayer then dissolved gas migrates
through the degassing film

6708A characterization of the new IDEX Health & Science flat film degasser
at various vacuum levels and flow rates produces a data set from which
any particular performance curve can be derived. This data set allows
complete control over the efficiency of the degasser, such that thedegasser can be optimized for any flow rate within the vacuum rangeof the pump.
