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, the specially-treated absorbent filters out nearly all organic solvent vapor evaporationg out of the waste solution.

With 65 g of absorbent, our filters have a larger capacity than competing brands. Typical lifetime is up to 10 months for methanol, and up to 8 months for acetonitile.breakthrough detector

The optional break-through detector recognizes trace amounts of acetone, acetonitrile, aliphatic and aromatic hydrocarbons, ethanol, ethyl acetate, methanol, methylene chloride, and THF. When the absorbent is saturated, break-through 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.
