Glass Fiber (GF) Filter Paper - EF19018
Laboratories running both water quality and biological sample preparation benefit from glass microfiber grades that serve multiple analytical workflows. Hydrophilic glass surface wets immediately on contact with aqueous solutions, requiring no pre-conditioning before filtration begins. In practice, certificate of conformance documentation accompanies each lot, providing traceability for quality systems and regulatory audit requirements.
Key Filter Paper Characteristics
- Pure borosilicate glass provides ultra-low blank values for trace analytical methods sensitive to organic or inorganic background contamination.
- Compatible with standard glass and plastic filter holders across all laboratory-standard disc diameters for vacuum and gravity filtration applications.
- Nominal basis weight of 143g/m² reflects the fiber density that determines flow rate, retention, and mechanical handling characteristics.
- Depth filtration captures particles throughout the fiber matrix rather than at the surface, maximizing total loading capacity before flow restriction.
- Binderless glass fiber construction delivers ultra-low blank values for gravimetric, thermal, and trace analytical methods requiring clean filter backgrounds.
Scaling your method from development to routine production requires paper consistency at every lot, and the specifications above provide that assurance. Rapid flow rates through the glass microfiber matrix reduce the processing time your high-volume filtration workflows demand. 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.
