Glass Fiber (GF) Filter Paper - EF19035
Prefiltration of turbid samples before membrane analysis requires a depth filter that captures coarse debris without restricting downstream flow rates. Grade-specific fiber diameter and packing density produce defined retention ratings that remain consistent across manufacturing lots. In practice, certificate of conformance documentation accompanies each lot, providing traceability for quality systems and regulatory audit requirements.
Key Filter Paper Characteristics
- Compatible with standard glass and plastic filter holders across all laboratory-standard disc diameters for vacuum and gravity filtration applications.
- Pure borosilicate glass provides ultra-low blank values for trace analytical methods sensitive to organic or inorganic background contamination.
- Randomly oriented glass microfibers create a depth structure that captures particles throughout the matrix, not just at the surface.
- Nominal retention of 1.2um provides the particle size cutoff appropriate for the analytical or preparative separation method.
- Pure borosilicate glass construction eliminates organic extractables that could interfere with downstream chromatographic or spectroscopic analysis.
If your laboratory supports multiple research groups with varying filtration needs, this paper's broad applicability simplifies your procurement process. To address this, chemical inertness across the full pH range means this filter handles the same aggressive sample matrices your analytical membranes process. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.
