Featuring a low ash hardened cellulose medium made from refined pulp and pure cotton linters with an alpha-cellulose content of nearly 100%, this 90mm qualitative filter paper disc delivers medium-slow filtration with a 7 to 8 micron particle retention. The 190um thick sheet provides increased absorbency and solute loading capacity, making it well suited to the filtration of fine precipitates and routine qualitative analytical separations. Each pack contains 100 discs.
Key Cellulose Media Characteristics
- Manufactured from refined pulp and pure cotton linters with an alpha-cellulose content of nearly 100% for consistent, reliable filtration.
- Provides a nominal particle retention of 7 to 8 microns with a medium-slow filtration speed.
- Low ash content of less than 0.06%, not reduced by post-treatment, minimizing contamination of analytical samples.
- Slightly more retentive and absorbent than a standard medium-grade paper, with a corresponding increase in filtration time.
- Hardened construction supports use as a folded filter in analytical funnels and improves wet handling.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Disc format, 90mm diameter, for use in standard funnels and filtration setups.
- Nominal thickness of 190um with a basis weight of 100 g/m2.
- Nonsterile, supplied 100 discs per pack.
This qualitative grade delivers dependable separation of fine precipitates and clarification of routine laboratory samples. The low ash, high alpha-cellulose composition maintains sample integrity across gravimetric and analytical workflows, while the absorbent hardened sheet withstands wet handling during filtration.
