Featuring a refined cellulose depth medium made from refined pulp and pure cotton linters with an alpha-cellulose content of nearly 100%, this 25mm qualitative filter paper disc delivers reliable retention of fine precipitates. The DMS03 medium-slow (thick) grade provides a nominal particle retention of 5 to 7 microns and a substantial 320 micron thickness, roughly double the thickness of a standard medium grade, giving it high loading capacity and a moderate to slow filtration rate. With a low ash content of less than 0.06% that is not reduced by post-treatment, this paper supports clean, repeatable qualitative analytical work.
Key Cellulose Filter Paper Characteristics
- Nominal retention: 5 to 7 micron range captures fine precipitates and suspended particulates.
- Medium-slow (thick) DMS03 grade: double-thickness construction increases dirt-holding capacity for heavily loaded samples.
- Low ash content: less than 0.06%, not reduced by post-treatment, for qualitative gravimetric and analytical procedures.
- High-purity cellulose: refined pulp and pure cotton linters with nearly 100% alpha-cellulose content provide enhanced mechanical strength.
- Hydrophilic medium: wets readily with aqueous solutions and common laboratory liquids.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Format: 25mm circular disc.
- Thickness: 320 microns for increased loading and wet handling strength.
- Pack: 100 discs per box, nonsterile.
This filter paper maintains consistent flow and retention performance across routine qualitative separations, helping protect sample integrity during filtration of fine precipitates. Its thick, high-purity cellulose structure withstands wet handling while delivering dependable clarification for laboratory and analytical applications.
