Why is a sample filtered before injection?

  • A.Particulates would block the column's inlet frit
  • B.Particulates would absorb at the detector's wavelength
  • C.Filtering concentrates the analyte usefully
  • D.Filtering removes dissolved gases from the sample

Answer: A

Anything larger than the packing's interstices lodges on the frit and raises the back pressure, eventually making the column unusable. Detection, concentration and degassing are unaffected by filtration. A two-minute step that protects a component costing several hundred pounds is among the best returns available in the laboratory, and skipping it is the commonest cause of a prematurely blocked column. Naming the cost of a choice alongside its benefit is what turns a fact into a design decision.
