Chromtech option for RTC PAL
Fully automated syringe filtration.
SyFi transfers established laboratory pressure filtration to the RTC PAL. The system draws the unfiltered sample into the syringe, automatically picks up the syringe filter and an optional needle, then pushes the sample through the filter membrane in a controlled process.
Syringe filters already used manually can continue to be used where suitable for the method. Different materials, diameters and pore sizes, as well as single or multiple filter use, are matched to the application and tray configuration.
- For small sample volumes and low dead volumes
- Typical pore sizes: 5.0 µm to 0.02 µm
- Automatic tool change on the RTC PAL
- Sample preparation for gas and liquid chromatography
- Different tray configurations available on request
Workflow videos
Prepare the tool, aspirate the sample and filter.

Aspirating from an open vial
The system prepares the syringe and draws the unfiltered sample from an open sample vial.
Filtering into an open vial
The sample is taken from a previously closed vial and pushed through the syringe filter into an open target vial.
Terms: SyFi means Syringe Filter. Dead volume is the liquid remaining in the filter or connecting flow paths. A septum is a pierceable seal used to close a sample vial.
In practice
Syringe filtration in routine laboratory work.
Yassin Hardi's video shows the Chromtech SyFi option performing automated syringe filtration in routine laboratory work. Filter pickup, filtration and vial handling are integrated into an automated workflow.
Syringe filters and sample trays can be adapted to the application. Manual filtration can be transferred to the RTC PAL using suitable filter materials, sizes and pore sizes.
Based on the public video contribution by Yassin Hardi. The configuration shown is an application example.
