in-line filter A solvent filter that sits between the pump and the injection valve that prevents dust particles, general debris and, to some extent, bacteria from entering the chromatography system. Contaminants can interfere with the low-pressure gradient former or the pump and particles entering valves may interfere with the proper function. The result could cause an increased baseline noise, non-repeatable gradient forming, unreliable flow rate or other interferences. Solvent in-line filters are low-pressure filters and will allow a high flow rate due to a large surface area and large porosity.
