Whatman GD/X Glass Fiber (GF) Syringe Filters, 1.5 µm, 25 mm, 150/Pk - 6892-2515
Whatman stages multiple glass fiber layers inside the GD/X cartridge to intercept particles in progressive steps, leaving only the smallest fraction to reach the tightly rated final membrane. A syringe filter's small hold-up volume limits sample loss, a meaningful difference when working with a limited or precious sample. Glass fiber draws aqueous samples through without preconditioning and offers broad chemical compatibility. The polypropylene housing keeps the sample chemically unaltered across the pass and maintains structural integrity through elevated-temperature sample preparation. For routine sample preparation across many methods, each analytical run starts with a consistent, particle-free sample without added hardware or a cleaning step.
Membrane Characteristics
- Autoclave steam sterilization at 121°C leaves structural integrity intact
- High internal surface area supports broad particle interception throughout fiber depth
- Biologically inert borosilicate fiber with broad chemical compatibility
- Depth-filtration mechanism captures particles throughout the fiber matrix, not at the surface
- Fiber matrix sustains throughput as particulate load builds within the filter depth
Housing Characteristics
- PP housing rated to 121°C holds its geometry through high-temperature sample preparation and processing.
- Plasticizer-free polyolefin construction keeps the fluid path clean
- Inert polyolefin wall contributes minimal sample adsorption to the filtrate
- Minimal ionic background from the polypropylene housing supports ion chromatography and trace-metal ICP-MS sample preparation.
A clean particulate separation keeps your aqueous sample preparation dependable. Consistent aqueous clarification clears particulates without slowing your bench routine the same way every time you run it. Ask about Whatman's quality documentation to confirm your filtration step meets a recognized laboratory-science standard.
