Qualitative Filter Paper - 10343876
Gravity filtration methods for removing suspended solids require filter paper that seats cleanly in funnels and retains particles consistently. Controlled fiber density produces documented flow rate and retention characteristics that remain consistent across production lots. In sum, documented grade specifications provide laboratories with the technical data needed to select appropriate papers without preliminary testing.
Key Filter Paper Characteristics
- Smooth surface finish supports clear visual inspection of retained material and clean separation from the collected filtrate.
- Basis weight of 400g/m² indicates the fiber mass per unit area that controls retention, flow rate, and wet strength.
- Pure cellulose fiber construction delivers consistent flow rates and predictable retention for general sample clarification and preparation.
- Standard basis weight and thickness specifications provide predictable packing density for volumetric calculations in gravity funnels.
- Particle retention rating of 4-8um defines the separation threshold for the application, determining which solids are captured and which pass through.
When your multi-site study requires comparable data across laboratories, papers manufactured to tight documented specifications ensure your results align. Wide retention range availability across the qualitative grade family lets you optimize each application in your sample preparation workflow. Take control of your sample preparation variables and ensure that your data reflects the true nature of your work, rather than the quality of your consumables.
