A filter apparatus for use in liquid chromatography systems includes a housing
component having an open channel formed therethrough for operably receiving fluid
transfer tubing in at least a first end thereof, a relatively thin mesh filter
component, and a securement component configured to matingly engage with the housing
such that the filter component is operably disposed and secured between the housing
and the securement component adjacent to and superimposed over a second open end
of the channel. The filter apparatus is thus adapted to operably filter chromatographic
fluids being drawn through the channels from the second open end and into the fluid
transfer tubing.
