The main source of particle contamination in HPLC columns originate in the sample to be analysed. Using a syringe filter before the sample is injected into the analytical instrument ensures that the sample is at its purest before the analysis begins. Greyhound Chromatography offer a wide range of syringe filters, suitable for any sample analysis.
Greyhound Chromatography's Q-Fil Syringe Filters set the new Quality standard for today’s laboratory syringe filters. Manufactured from the highest quality medical grade, high density polypropylene. Q-Fil Syringe Filters provide excellent chemical compatibility with acids, alcohols, bases, ethers, glycols, ketones and oils.
Every colour-coded filter is printed with details of the membrane material and its pore size on the outside of the filter and every box is labelled with the batch number making them ideal for traceability, GLPs and validation purposes.
Scale-up of high area filters for microfiltration of biological fluids - Poin...MilliporeSigma
Presented at INTERPHEX on March 21-23, 2017.
High area filters can present unique challenges when scaling up from discs to cartridges. A model was developed that can be used to estimate scaled-up performance. A new small scale scaling tool is also introduced that closely mimics the filtration behavior of the full scale filter and that can be used to confirm expected scaled-up performance.
Hahnemühle‘s Albet LabScience brand is a range of products designed for general filtration applications and complex filtration processes in life science and analytical applications in chemical and biological laboratories. The technical specifications of our membranes and syringe filters allow their use in areas where reproducibility and consistency are of major importance.
Quality
Our syringe filters undergo strict quality controls during and after production. The storage life of the finished products in the
warehouse is constantly monitored. Each filter holder undergoes the following five tests: bubble point, burst pressure, membrane absorption, flow rate and extractable substances. The range includes filter holders for the reliable separation of microorganisms and particles in liquids, air and other gases. Clear and sterile filtration, sample production, sterile aeration and medical applications are just some of the areas where disposable filter holders are typically used. They are available in different pore sizes and with different hydrophilic or hydrophobic membrane materials.
Our microfiltration range also includes membrane units. The first step towards successful analysis is choosing the right membrane unit. We offer you different membrane filters with pore sizes from 0.2 μm – 8 μm for particle removal or for the collection of the microorganisms to be examined from solutions. Various cellulose-based membranes and polymer materials cover a wide range of application areas, from clarification and sample preparation to sterile and air filtration to aeration and microbiological control. See our quick and easy to use guidelines on page 8f, which will help you to decide which product is perfect for you.

Integrity testing is a critical operation, especially for sterilizing grade filters used in biopharmaceutical processing. When performed correctly, an integrity test is a fast, definitive, non-destructive way to assure filter retention performance. Fortunately, there are few ways a non-integral filter will pass the integrity test, eliminating the possibility a non-retentive filter is used undetected. Unfortunately, there are a lot of ways an integral filter can fail the integrity test, resulting in retests, lost time, productivity and potentially lost product.
In this webinar you will:
- Gain confidence in your integrity testing results
- Provide justification for retests
- Understand specific challenges and eliminate them to assure the integrity test can be performed correctly the first time

PFAS Testing Solutions from Greyhound Chromatography.
As a global supplier of chromatography consumables and reference standards, Greyhound
Chromatography have brought together in this catalogue, the best products for the analysis of
PFAS compounds from the leading manufacturers in the field.
PFAS (per and polyfluoroalkyl substances) is the collective name for almost 5000 compounds
which have been produced since the 1940s. These compounds are not naturally occurring in
nature so the problems of global pollution are entirely the result of human activity. The utility of
these compounds has resulted in their rapid adoption which has resulted in them being found in
cookware, stain repellents, food packaging, cosmetics, firefighting foams and many
manufacturing processes.
PFAS are known as ‘forever chemicals’ in that they are very persistent in the environment and the
human body, resulting in increasing health risks including damage to immune systems, cancer and
thyroid hormone disruption.
Considerable research has been undertaken to develop products which are specifically suited for
the analysis of PFAS by HPLC, from sample preparation, through to analytical detection.
This brochure brings together many of the leading products used in PFAS analysis, including the
analysis of samples in water, soil, food and beverages as well as serum samples.

Is Vaping the right solution for giving up smoking nicotine products?
Is Vaping just a case of smoke and mirrors?
Should we be concerned about health issues caused by vaping?
With the vast increase in Vaping being led by the thought
it can stop a users addiction of smoking, do we really have
all the facts we need to determine if this is the truth?
Although e-cigarettes date back to being invented in the
1920’s, it wasn’t until the mid 2000’s that a Chinese
company, owned by pharmacist Hon Lik, created the first
modern vaping device to be sold on the high street.
Recently there has been a lot of media coverage regarding
e-cigarettes and the affect that they have on human
health, there is almost no proven scientific evidence to
say that vaping is better for people than smoking.
We are all aware that smoking is able to cause many known
illnesses and can commonly lead to death, but new stories
have come to light recently, show that vaping has a huge
detrimental effect in the same way that smoking does.
Laws have been implemented in the US since 2016 regarding
the use of vape devices which states it is illegal to
sell e-cigarettes to minors but advertising to adults is
still permitted. There isn’t as much concern that vaping
will effect children in the UK in the same way, as we
have strict limits on the levels of nicotine that can be
included in e-liquids, whereas the US do not.
Considering e-cigarettes were introduced to the market as
a less harmful alternative to smoking, there has been an
increased concern that people have taken up vaping
although they never smoked to begin with.
Electronic Cigarettes (A vape) are small devices that
use different flavoured nicotine oils, also known as
e-juices, to create smoke in a vapour form.
A vaping device does not include or contain tobacco and
therefore doesn’t allow you to produce carbon monoxide
or tar that can be formed from resins that are active
in cigarettes.
How is vape oil (e-juice) made?
Vape juices are generally made by mixing together
different flavours and nicotine with a solvent which
is usually propylene glycol.
Sometimes people will optionally use vegetable
glycerine. The solvent that is used within the mix is
the main chemical that is included in the vape oil.
Propylene glycol is an organic chemical compound that
is most commonly used within foods as an additive to
improve the flavour, colour or texture of different
products.
Currently in the UK, there is estimated to be 3.6 million people who are vaping. It is becoming
more and more common that people have taken up vaping in place of their addictive cigarette
habit, as they believe that this will be “better” for them in the long run. It has been proven
that if there is repeated high exposure to this vapour then very harmful risks could occur.
Recently there have been many cases related to e-cigarettes and the effects that they can cause.
Chem Service, Inc. produces high purity standards for use as reference
materials and for other laboratory purposes. More than 95% of the Standards Grade
materials have a certified purity of 98.0% or greater and do not require purity
corrections when preparing solutions for use with EPA, USTM, UST, and numerous
other international methods. You can trust that Chem Service high purity standards
are a quality product.
Why is Pesticide Testing Important?
Pesticides are an effective tool used by farmers all across the globe to prevent insects, rodents and other pests from
eating or spoiling their crops. Although, because these chemical compounds are deadly to these pests, it has been
important to ensure that pesticides do not have poisonous effects past insects to humans and other aspects of nature.
However, it can be difficult for communities to police pesticides and it is not as effective to test pesticide use after it
has already been applied to a field or farm. For these reasons, there have been a number of international bodies that
have joined together to create testing guidelines to ensure that the pesticides used in the U.S., Australia, Africa and
anywhere else will not result in unwanted repercussions for humans nearby. Pesticide users and manufacturers can
use certified and approved standards to check whether their pesticides meet quality and specification requirements
to work effectively without harmful consequences.
Countries Work Towards a Common Goal
Since the 1960 formation of the Convention on the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development,
countries including the U.S, U.K., Mexico, Japan, Chile and Germany have created a set of pesticide testing protocols.
The OECD pointed to nearly 100 testing methods for the testing of these chemicals. The international group both
creates guidelines for pesticide uses as well as tests the residue of pesticides in OECD and non-OECD countries to
study their effects and determine further usage plans.
Separate from the OECD, the Collaborative International Pesticide Analytical Council, the Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations, and the World Health Organization also work to regulate safe pesticide use on an
international scale. In a 2005 report published by all three organizations outlining the quality to be used in national
laboratories, they explained the importance of using standards from approved international providers.
Protecting Bees From Pesticides
As far as humans are concerned, bees are one of the most important
insects. Though they aren't the only type of bug that pollinates plants,
they are one of the most common. Bees ensure that plants produce
fruits and vegetables. Without them, whole industries would die and
many would be without a source of food. However, pesticides meant to
rid crops of other harmful insects are having an adverse effect on bee
populations around the world.
PFAS (per- and polyfluoroalkyl
substances), known as “forever
chemicals” are found in everyday
objects. Food Packaging, paints,
cosmetics, wood lacquers, sealants ,
solar panels, fire fighting foams,
artificial grass and many more
seemingly innocent products.
Generally used to prevent corrosion
and make products waterproof and
stain-resistant they are present in our
everyday life. Unfortunately they do
not break down in our environment
and as a consequence are “forever
present”. Greyhound Chromatography provides a wide range of Chromatography related products for testing and analysis of PFAS and many other 'forever chemicals'.
Are all PFAS toxic to humans?
This is a question that remains to be answered.
Research over many years will provide the data
needed to analyse the impact PFAS has on the
environment. Some PFAS, sometimes used in
construction materials are not released into the
air or water table when it rains but they are
released when buildings are demolished and the
debris is sent to landfill.
Some PFAs are of a more immediate concern as they are released into the environment when they
are used or when they come into contact with water. Small residual PFAS molecules wash off
easily and are carried to the soil, air and water very quickly. Many short-chain PFAS dissolve in
water. Gradually, over time, the PFAS sinks to the depths of oceans and rivers, settles in the
sediment and becomes a concern as marine life feeds on plants and other animals that are in the
sediment. Some PFAS such as PFOA act like detergents, they repel water and rise back to the
surface, they are then released into the atmosphere as droplets. Some scientists believe that spray
from the oceans is the biggest source of atmospheric PFAS.

Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
Multi-source connectivity as the driver of solar wind variability in the heli...Sérgio Sacani
The ambient solar wind that flls the heliosphere originates from multiple
sources in the solar corona and is highly structured. It is often described
as high-speed, relatively homogeneous, plasma streams from coronal
holes and slow-speed, highly variable, streams whose source regions are
under debate. A key goal of ESA/NASA’s Solar Orbiter mission is to identify
solar wind sources and understand what drives the complexity seen in the
heliosphere. By combining magnetic feld modelling and spectroscopic
techniques with high-resolution observations and measurements, we show
that the solar wind variability detected in situ by Solar Orbiter in March
2022 is driven by spatio-temporal changes in the magnetic connectivity to
multiple sources in the solar atmosphere. The magnetic feld footpoints
connected to the spacecraft moved from the boundaries of a coronal hole
to one active region (12961) and then across to another region (12957). This
is refected in the in situ measurements, which show the transition from fast
to highly Alfvénic then to slow solar wind that is disrupted by the arrival of
a coronal mass ejection. Our results describe solar wind variability at 0.5 au
but are applicable to near-Earth observatories.

Why filter your
samples for
HPLC?
The main source of particle contamination in HPLC columns originate in the sample to be analysed.
Therefore, the final preparation step prior to sample injection into the HPLC instrument is to remove any small
particulates from the sample by filtration. Removal of the solid materials is very important as they can interfere
with the compound of interest and easily clog up the column being used. This will inevitably have a
detrimental effect on the performance of the column, i.e. back pressure, peak size, retention time, peak shape.
Severe contamination can lead to the column being irreversibly blocked and therefore having to be replaced.
Other costs can include instrument downtime, and the loss of valuable samples.
Sample Types
Samples differ in a variety of ways, they may be heavily loaded with fine or coarse particulates, dissolved in
aqueous or organic solvents with varying viscosities. To facilitate the most appropriate sample preparation
result, filters should be optimised to match the particular requirements of each kind of sample being injected.
Standard Samples
A matrix of 5-10mL is the most common sample volume, with low viscosity, low particle contamination and
dissolved in either an organic or an aqueous solvent. Greyhound Q-Fil Regenerated Cellulose Syringe Filters
are an excellent choice for such samples. Their inert housing manufactured from high density medical grade
virgin polypropylene, complete with the integrated Regenerated Cellulose (RC) membrane has a high chemical
resistance against the most common HPLC solvents and is very suitable for aqueous samples. Every batch
is HPLC-tested for low extractables. Whilst 0.45µm is the most commonly used membrane porosity, the
0.22µm membrane provides improved purity when using capillary columns or HPLC packings with a
particle size of 3µm or less
Demanding Samples
More difficult samples which contain high loads of particulates, high viscosity or unusually high volumes
place additional challenges on the user when preparing samples for HPLC analysis. The particles have a
tendency to block the filter, high viscosities will decrease the flow rate and high volumes increase the time
required to complete the filtration process. These challenges often result in the user applying a greater degree
of manual pressure to the process and potentially exceeding the maximum pressure limit of the filter with a
subsequent risk of bursting the housing. As a result, the sample will be lost and a potential safety risk can
arise if corrosive solvents or harmful chemicals are being filtered. To assist in overcoming these challenges,
the use of Q-Fil Syringe Filters with a built in Glass Microfiber pre-filter are recommended. The pre-filter
removes the larger particulates from the sample leaving only the smaller particulates to be filtered by the
membrane. These filters increase the flow rate through the unit resulting in a higher volume of sample to be
filtered and less pressure being required by the user.
Small Volume Samples
Smaller volume samples are often valuable and require special attention. Any loss of the analyte due to
adsorption by the filter membrane or housing or a large dead volume can have a detrimental effect on the
analysis. Smaller filters of 13mm and 4mm diameter decrease the dead volume to less than 25uL and 8uL
respectively making them ideal for smaller volume samples.
Summary
Sample filtration is an important factor in ensuring that HPLC analysis is achieved in an efficient and cost
effective way. The extensive range of Q-Fil Syringe Filters have been developed to meet the demands of the
analyst and the different sample matrices being used and without losing any of the important sample.

• Choose the size of filter based on the volume of sample to be filtered
• Choose the filters porosity based on the size of the potential particulates in the sample. It is important to be
aware that the finer the porosity of the membrane the greater the pressure will be required to pass the sample
through the filter. A sample containing large quantities of particulates is best filtered using a filter with a built-in
glass microfiber pre-filter
• Choose the type of membrane based on the solvent being filtered

GREYHOUND Q-Fil SYRINGE FILTERS
Q-Fil Syringe Filters are available in 0.22µm and 0.45µm pore sizes, (other pore sizes are available on request).
The 0.22µm filters remove the smallest particulates whilst the 0.45µm filters are designed to remove particulates
which would be detrimental to most analytical columns.
Pre-filters have a glass microfiber membrane which is chemically inert and resists most solvents. Q-Fil
glass microfiber pre-filters are recommended for removing large particulates from the sample and are ideal for
dissolution tests.
Pore Sizes
• These filters have the same high quality filter membranes and polypropylene housings as our other Q-Fil
Syringe Filters, but include a Glass Microfiber (GMF) membrane used as a pre-filter
• The glass microfiber pre-filter is mounted before the microporous filter membrane, eliminating the need for a
pre-filtration step, minimising sample loss and prolonging the life of the filter membrane
• Flow rates are increased and the filtrate volume is significantly greater when compared to filters without pre-filters
• Regenerated Cellulose membrane filters with the GMF membrane incorporated as a pre-filter, are particularly
useful for tissue culture media filtration, as well as for general biological sample filtration
• These filters are ideal for general laboratory filtration of samples which contain excessive amounts of particulates
• The glass microfiber pre-filter removes the large particulates and prevents premature clogging of the
filter membrane
