Qualitative Filter Paper - 1004-125
Pre-filtering turbid samples before instrumental analysis needs a paper grade that removes interfering particles while maintaining reasonable flow rates. Medium retention grades capture suspended solids while maintaining flow rates suitable for routine laboratory sample throughput requirements. By design, controlled manufacturing delivers the documented retention, flow rate, and physical consistency that analytical and preparative filtration methods require.
Key Filter Paper Characteristics
- Nominal ash content of 0.06% ensures minimal inorganic residue after ignition, protecting the accuracy of gravimetric determinations.
- Compatible with standard glass and plastic filter funnels, qualitative paper integrates into existing gravity filtration setups without modification.
- Rated at 25um particle retention, the fiber matrix provides a defined cutoff for consistent separation across analytical batches.
- Available in precut circles and sheet stock to match funnel sizes and custom cutting requirements across laboratory applications.
- Smooth surface finish supports clear visual inspection of retained material and clean separation from the collected filtrate.
If your laboratory runs standardized filtration protocols, the lot-level consistency of this filter paper protects your method reproducibility. Specifically, predictable retention and flow rate from a pure cellulose matrix give you a dependable filtration baseline for routine sample preparation. 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.
