Quantitative Ashless Filter Paper - 1542-150
Quantitative methods where the filter is ashed alongside the sample require documented, ultra-low residue to protect analytical accuracy. Acid washing removes metallic ions that could interfere with trace element determinations following ignition of the loaded filter. With this in mind, each sheet reflects production standards where fiber density, thickness, and retention characteristics are verified before lot release.
Key Filter Paper Characteristics
- Acid-washed cellulose construction produces ash content below 0.01%, meeting the blank value requirements of quantitative gravimetric methods.
- Nominal ash content of <0.006% ensures minimal inorganic residue after ignition, protecting the accuracy of gravimetric determinations.
- Designed for gravimetric determinations where the filter paper is ashed or ignited as part of the analytical measurement step.
- Ashless filter paper provides the documented low residue needed for ignition-based analytical procedures where filter mass affects results.
- Certificate of analysis documents actual ash content per production lot, providing traceability for regulated analytical methods.
When your quality system requires documented specifications for every consumable, the grade data above provides the traceability your auditors expect. Meeting this challenge, fine fiber construction provides the mechanical integrity you need to transfer collected precipitates to the crucible without sample loss. Elevate the quality of your analytical data today by standardizing on a filtration product built to meet the exact specifications of your applications.
