Our improved exhaust filter is the center of the VICI Jour safety program, ridding ambient air of solvent vapors which could adversely affect the health of lab workers. When placed on the waste bottle of an HPLC system, a specially treated absorbent filters out nearly all organic solvent vapors.
With 65 g of our optimized absorbent, VICI Jour exhaust filters have a larger capacity than competing brands and a long lifetime. The typical lifetime is up to 10 months* for methanol and up to 8 months* for acetonitrile.
Prevent breakthroughs with the optional breakthrough detector, which alerts users to the saturation of the filter absorbent. The detector recognizes trace amounts of acetone, acetonitrile, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, ethanol, ethyl acetate, methanol, methylene chloride, and THF. When the absorbent is saturated, the breakthrough is indicated by a color change in the detector from orange/pink to dark purple. A small charcoal filter absorbs the vapors after they pass the detector.
With a universal 1/4-28 connection, exhaust filters fit all VICI safety caps and VICI caps. Adapters to fit other brand products are available.
NOTE
Disposal of the saturated filters must be done in compliance with your local regulations for chemical waste.
