title: Identification of an organic compound leached from a membrane filter.
abstract: An organic compound leached from a Millipore HA filter has been identified as the non-ionic surfactant polyoxyethylene nonylphenyl ether with a degree of polymerization of 4-10 for the ethylene oxide unit. It is suggested that the Millipore HA filter should be used only after several rinses with sample or doubly-distilled water.
