=== Overview ===
The commercially available 96 Deepwell plate filters offer a convenient way of filtering samples containing particulates prior to introduction on an  HPLC system. 

LEAP has integrated a "Filtering" accessory for the PAL which allows samples to be filtered reliably and repeatably. It does not require external pneumatics, but uses the PAL to open and close the drawer.  Samples can be processed in batch mode or "just in time" before direct injection of the filtrate to the LC valve or GC injection port. 

The complete system can provide automated online filtration, including sample preparation, sample transport and injection into the chromatographic system.

=== Significant Markets ===
Any labs who are doing High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) or more significantly, Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography (UHPLC) analysis. It is imperative that particles are eliminated to avoid blockage of HPLC lines and columns. This filtering technique lets you prepare samples in one third the time required by other methods.
