™
Precolumn Filter
Economical protection for your analytical column
Finger tight to 6,000 psi (414 bar) without wrenches or other tools
Lower dead volume than conventional flters with holders
Universal connection compatible with all column
manufacturers’ fttings
Compatibility with stainless steel or PEEK
™
tubing
The PEEK ColumnSaver Precolumn Filters offer all the protection
of conventional precolumn filters at a third of the cost. With its
convenient direct connect design, changeover time is measured in
seconds and no tools or wrenches are needed. The ColumnSaver
PEEK body contains a HiFlo
™
stainless steel or titanium flter element
and is designed for maximum filtration of particulate matter with
minimal dead volume or backpressure.
The stainless steel ColumnSaver Precolumn Filter offers similar
benefts as the PEEK version, but it is especially designed for use in
UHPLC applications. Manufacturedwith an all-stainless steel body and
featuring a 2 µm stainless steel frit, the stainless steel ColumnSaver
offers precolumn filtration protection in those applications where
inline pressures can reach as high as 20,000 psi (1,379 bar). (Please
Note: Because of the design of this product, it needs to be wrench-
tightened in place.)

The ColumnSaver can also be used as a convenient, fngertight inline
flter when used with a 1/16” union. As soon as an increase in
backpressure is detected, simply remove and dispose of the
ColumnSaver unit and replace it with a new one. The direct-connect
design is compatible with 1/16” 10-32 internal ftting ports featured
on many standard, high pressure stainless steel unions.
Application Note
For micro-scale chromatographic applications — where fow rates
and sample sizes are signifcantly reduced from traditional analytical
scale chromatography — try our M-550 or M-560 Precolumn MicroFilters
