Featuring a high-purity alpha-cellulose depth medium made from refined pulp and pure cotton linters, this 125mm quantitative ashless filter paper disc delivers medium-slow flow with a 7-9um particle retention range for critical gravimetric and analytical work. With a nominal thickness of 170um, a basis weight of 85 g/m2, and an ash content below 0.007%, it minimizes background contamination in procedures where weight measurements of combusted samples must remain accurate. Each pack contains 100 discs.
