Carrier Gas Filtration 221-34121-94: a Crucial Step for Medical Precision in Chromatography
In gas chromatography (GC) analysis, the purity of the carrier gas is essential for ensuring reproducible and reliable results, particularly in the medical field. The Shimadzu 221-34121-94 filter was developed with this in mind, to meet the performance requirements of the GC-2010 and GC-2014 systems.
This filter, which uses an MS-5A molecular sieve, is primarily designed to purify the carrier gas as it enters the chromatograph. By removing impurities that can cause background noise, interference or false positives, it plays a key role in the quality of the data produced. The impact is particularly critical in biomedical analysis laboratories, where the traceability and accuracy of detected compounds can directly influence diagnostics, clinical studies or pharmaceutical quality controls.
The 221-34121-94 model integrates easily into compatible systems thanks to its optimised design for GC-2010 and GC-2014 chromatographs. Its robustness and durability make it suitable for intensive use in hospital, biomedical research and regulated analysis laboratories. It helps to extend the life of columns and detectors by protecting them from residues and microparticles carried by the gas.
In addition to ensuring analytical performance, the filter also acts as a safety feature in the gas circuit, maintaining stable pressure and reducing the risk of malfunctions due to blockages or contamination. Using the 221-34121-94 filter allows operators to focus on interpreting results without worrying about contamination from the gas environment.
The 221-34121-94 is the component of choice in Shimadzu medical GC systems for rigorous, reproducible chromatography that complies with healthcare industry standards.
