Legacy degassers and debubblers
Guide from old models to modern replacements
The DEGASi® family of stand-alone degassers was first introduced more than 20 years ago and while delivering superior degasification performance at the time, these models cannot compare to the degassers of today and many have consequently been taken out of production. The information below about these outdated models are kept for reference and for smooth guidance to more modern degasser alternatives. The outdated debubbler products have been completely replaced by various DEGASi® degasser models that eliminates bubbles by efficiently removing dissolved gases that otherwise could outgas to form bubbles.

Description
All the legacy DEGASi® degassers did remove dissolved gases by continuous inline degasification using a constant vacuum applied over a Systec™ AF membrane that is permeable to gases but not liquids. The removal of dissolved gases from liquid chromatography mobile phases reduces retention time shifts and improves baseline stability, while also reducing the level of oxygen which otherwise can interfere with detection techniques such as UV absorption and fluorescence. All problems with bubbles are typically eliminated when 50% of the dissolves gases are removed, which often can be critical in analytical systems as well as dispensing applications. The legacy debubbler products were based on a Poridex™ membrane for bubble removal. Unlike the Systec™ AF membrane, the porous Poridex™ membrane was only compatible with aqueous solutions not containing any organic solvents, detergents, or emulsifiers.
