Quantitative Ashless Filter Paper - 1444-240
Gravimetric analysis demands filter paper that contributes virtually no residue after ignition, ensuring mass measurements reflect the sample alone. Each production lot is tested for ash content and documented with a certificate to support analytical traceability requirements. Taken together, controlled manufacturing delivers the documented retention, flow rate, and physical consistency that analytical and preparative filtration methods require.
Key Filter Paper Characteristics
- Smooth surface finish facilitates complete precipitate recovery and clean separation from the paper during transfer operations.
- Standard construction provides the soft, conformable surface that seats properly in gravity filtration funnels without edge leakage.
- Standard construction provides the absorption and wicking characteristics that gravity-based filtration protocols require.
- Pure cellulose fiber matrix combines low inorganic residue with the mechanical integrity needed for careful precipitate transfer.
- At 80g/m² nominal basis weight, the paper provides the mass uniformity needed for reproducible gravimetric determinations.
Scaling your method from development to routine production requires paper consistency at every lot, and the specifications above provide that assurance. 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.
