Cellulose Qualitative Filter Paper, Medium, 240mm, 10um Retention, Nonsterile, 100/Pk
GVS SKU: FP240DME01QALC01

Featuring an alpha-cellulose qualitative filter medium with a medium filtration speed and a nominal retention near 10 microns, this 240mm circle delivers dependable clarification across a broad range of routine laboratory work. Supplied nonsterile in packs of 100, the disc combines steady flow with reliable particle capture for everyday separation tasks.

Key Cellulose Media Characteristics

• Constructed from refined pulp and pure cotton linters with an alpha-cellulose content of nearly 100 percent for consistent, repeatable filtration.
• Low ash content keeps background contribution to a minimum across general analytical separations.
• Hydrophilic medium wets readily with aqueous samples for fast, even saturation.
• Medium filtration speed balances throughput with effective retention of fine precipitates.
• Suited to clarifying liquids and capturing precipitates such as lead sulphate, calcium oxalate, and calcium carbonate.

Key Construction Characteristics

• 240mm diameter circle format for use with larger funnels and high sample volumes.
• Grade DME01 qualitative paper for routine, general-purpose filtration.
• Nominal particle retention near 10 microns.
• Supplied nonsterile, 100 circles per box.

This filter paper provides steady, repeatable performance for clarifying liquids and separating fine precipitates in routine laboratory analysis. Its uniform cellulose structure helps maintain consistent flow and clean separations, supporting sample integrity from filtration through downstream evaluation.
