Glass Fiber (GF) Filter Paper - EF19009
Gravimetric analysis of suspended solids requires a thermally stable filter that survives ignition without contributing measurable residue to the determination. Chemically inert borosilicate glass resists degradation across the full pH range, maintaining fiber integrity through acid and alkaline sample matrices. In combination, from fiber selection through final inspection, the manufacturing process ensures every sheet meets the performance specifications of its grade.
Key Filter Paper Characteristics
- Pure borosilicate glass construction eliminates organic extractables that could interfere with downstream chromatographic or spectroscopic analysis.
- Nominal basis weight of 143g/m² reflects the fiber density that determines flow rate, retention, and mechanical handling characteristics.
- Binderless glass fiber matrix eliminates organic extractables that would interfere with downstream chromatographic or spectroscopic determinations.
- Borosilicate glass microfiber construction provides depth filtration with loading capacity far exceeding cellulose papers of equivalent retention.
- Rated at 1.0um particle retention, the fiber matrix provides a defined cutoff for consistent separation across analytical batches.
Scaling your method from development to routine production requires paper consistency at every lot, and the specifications above provide that assurance. In particular, thermal stability exceeding 500 degrees C supports the ignition step your gravimetric method requires without introducing filter decomposition artifacts. 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.
