Glass Fiber Filter Membranes, 1.0um, 13mm, Hydrophilic, Nonsterile, 100/Pk
GVS SKU: 1215571

Featuring a borosilicate glass fiber depth medium bonded with an acrylic resin binder, these 1.0 um, 13mm filter membranes deliver high particulate loading capacity and fast flow for demanding aqueous samples. Composed of borosilicate glass fibers woven into a porous matrix and bonded by an acrylic resin, this construction reduces media migration and provides the strength required for high-volume aqueous filtrations. The naturally hydrophilic medium wets out readily and traps fine particulates throughout its depth, making it well suited as a prefilter that extends the life of downstream membranes or as a standalone medium for low-cost sample clarification.

Key Glass Fiber Media Characteristics

• Hydrophilic depth medium composed of 100% borosilicate glass fibers woven into a porous matrix for high impurity retention with low filter resistance.
• 1.0 um nominal particle retention captures fine particulates while maintaining fast flow under high particulate loads.
• Acrylic resin binder reduces media migration and adds the mechanical strength needed for filtrations of long duration under pressure.
• Biologically inert and autoclavable, with high resistance to oxidizing agents and weak acids.
• Depth structure with large surface area provides outstanding dirt-holding capacity, ideal for protecting final membranes from premature clogging.

Key Construction Characteristics

• Pore size: 1.0 um nominal particle retention.
• Diameter: 13mm disc format.
• Sterility: Nonsterile.
• Pack: 100 filters per pack.

This glass fiber medium delivers reliable, repeatable performance across high-volume and heavily loaded aqueous applications. Its depth structure maintains throughput where screen membranes would clog, helping preserve sample integrity and protect downstream filtration. Whether deployed as a dedicated prefilter or as a primary clarification medium, it provides consistent particulate removal at low cost.
