Cellulose Qualitative Filter Paper Discs, 47mm, Grade DME01, 10-13um, Medium Speed, 100/Pk
GVS SKU: FP047DME01QALC01

Featuring a low ash, hardened cellulose medium made from refined pulp and pure cotton linters with an alpha-cellulose content of nearly 100%, this 47mm qualitative filter paper disc (Grade DME01) delivers a medium filtration speed with a nominal retention range of 10 to 13um. The naturally hydrophilic paper carries an ash content of less than 0.06% and is supplied 100 discs per pack, making it well suited to routine analytical separations and the clarification of liquids.

Key Filter Paper Characteristics

• Low ash content: Less than 0.06% ash, not reduced by post-treatment, minimizing contamination during qualitative work.
• High-purity cellulose: Manufactured from refined pulp and pure cotton linters with nearly 100% alpha-cellulose for consistent filtration behavior.
• Medium retention and flow: Nominal 10 to 13um retention with a balanced medium filtration speed for general-purpose clarification.
• Naturally hydrophilic: Wets readily with aqueous solutions and common laboratory liquids.
• Hardened structure: Provides wet strength for handling during filtration.

Key Construction Characteristics

• Format: 47mm diameter circular disc.
• Material: Qualitative low ash hardened cellulose filter paper.
• Grade: DME01, the most widely used grade in the qualitative range.
• Pack: 100 discs per pack, nonsterile.

This grade covers a wide range of laboratory applications and is frequently used for clarifying liquids and separating fine precipitates. The medium retention and flow rate make it a dependable choice for routine qualitative analysis where residue weight accuracy is not required. Consistent cellulose purity helps maintain sample integrity throughout the filtration process.
