Quantitative Ashless Filter Paper - 1441-070
Environmental and pharmaceutical laboratories running ignition-based assays need ashless paper that meets their method's blank specifications. Controlled washing process removes metallic and mineral contaminants that would otherwise contribute measurable mass after ignition. Altogether, lot-level verification of retention, thickness, and ash content ensures predictable performance when scaling from method development to routine analysis.
Key Filter Paper Characteristics
- Standard wet strength is sufficient for conventional Buchner funnel and gravity filtration setups at moderate sample volumes.
- Pure cellulose fiber matrix combines low inorganic residue with the mechanical integrity needed for careful precipitate transfer.
- Designed for gravimetric determinations where the filter paper is ashed or ignited as part of the analytical measurement step.
- Controlled fiber density balances rapid filtration with complete precipitate capture for efficient quantitative determinations.
- At 20um rated retention, the fiber matrix captures particles above the threshold while allowing smaller materials to pass through.
When your multi-site study requires comparable data across laboratories, papers manufactured to tight documented specifications ensure your results align. Acid-washed cellulose removes the inorganic contaminants that would otherwise introduce blank errors in your ignition-based quantitative determinations. 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.
