Featuring a binder-free borosilicate glass microfiber depth medium, these 70mm filter paper discs provide 1.5um nominal particle retention with the high loading capacity and fast flow characteristic of a glass fiber depth filter. The hydrophilic structure draws aqueous samples readily, while the open depth matrix captures particulate throughout the media rather than only at the surface, making it well suited to heavily loaded samples. Supplied as Grade DFAAH discs in a pack of 100.
Key Glass Fiber Media Characteristics
- Hydrophilic borosilicate depth medium wets readily with aqueous samples and provides 1.5um nominal particle retention.
- Binder-free construction avoids binder extractables, supporting gravimetric and solvent filtration work.
- High particulate loading capacity from the depth structure captures particles throughout the media for sustained flow under heavy solids loads.
- Biologically inert and resistant to oxidizing agents and weak acids, with autoclavable borosilicate construction.
- Low filter resistance delivers rapid flow rates relative to screen membranes of comparable retention.
Key Construction Characteristics
- Material: 100% borosilicate glass microfiber, binder-free.
- Format: 70mm diameter plain disc.
- Grade: DFAAH.
- Sterility: Nonsterile.
- Pack: 100 discs per pack.
The depth-loading borosilicate medium maintains consistent flow while removing fine particulate, helping protect downstream membranes and preserve sample integrity. Its binder-free, biologically inert composition supports reproducible results across gravimetric analysis, water and wastewater testing, and general laboratory clarification.
