HPLC
HPLC is a highly precise analytical instrument used for liquid sample analysis. Prior to HPLC analysis, it is crucial to filter the sample and mobile phase to remove insoluble particles. This helps prevent blockages in injection valves, tubing, and HPLC columns, while also reducing interference from impurities and improving data accuracy.

Given the instrument's high analytical precision, the purity and extractable of the filter membrane are of utmost importance. The presence of extractable can lead to various issues, such as:
- Impaired separation and integration of chromatographic peaks
- Ghost peak formation
- Alteration of stationary phase selectivity
- Impact on chromatographic baseline
Decreased lifespan of high-pressure pump and other components (due to corrosive ions)

Conclusion
Cobetter's unsupported nylon nanofiber membrane demonstrates outstanding performance in HPLC dissolution testing. The amount of dissolution is significantly lower compared to brand A and brand B. When the retention time is greater than 5 minutes, the curve is smooth, without any noticeable dissolution peaks, and provides a clean background. It is highly suitable for sample preparation in HPLC.
