Grade C Glass Fiber Filter Paper 1.2um, 37mm, Nonsterile, 100/Pk SKU: EF19040

Glass Fiber (GF) Filter Paper - EF19040

Gravimetric analysis of suspended solids requires a thermally stable filter that survives ignition without contributing measurable residue to the determination. Binderless construction eliminates organic and resin-based additives that would contribute background contamination to sensitive downstream analytical methods. Working in concert, quality-controlled production produces filter paper with the documented consistency that reproducible analytical and preparative methods demand.

Key Filter Paper Characteristics

• Hydrophilic glass fiber wets spontaneously on contact with aqueous solutions, eliminating pre-wetting steps required by hydrophobic filter media.
• Randomly oriented glass microfibers create a depth structure that captures particles throughout the matrix, not just at the surface.
• High void volume within the randomly oriented fiber matrix sustains flow rates through heavy particulate loads that would blind surface-capture filters.
• Hydrophilic glass surface wets spontaneously on contact with aqueous solutions, requiring no pre-conditioning before sample filtration.
• Inorganic glass matrix withstands temperatures exceeding 500 degrees C, supporting ignition-based gravimetric methods without filter decomposition.

When your multi-site study requires comparable data across laboratories, papers manufactured to tight documented specifications ensure your results align. Grade-specific retention ratings let you match particle capture to the specific requirements of each analytical method in your laboratory. 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.

• Suspended Solids Analysis - Captures particulates from water and wastewater samples for gravimetric TSS determination by standard methods.
• Membrane Prefiltration - Removes coarse debris from turbid samples before downstream membrane analysis to prevent premature blinding.
• Water Quality Monitoring - Collects suspended solids from environmental water samples for regulatory compliance and watershed assessment.
• Biological Clarification - Clears cell culture harvests and biological lysates of particulate debris before chromatographic purification.
• Turbid Sample Processing - High loading capacity filters heavily particulate environmental and industrial samples without premature clogging.
• Gravimetric Air Monitoring - Thermal stability supports ignition-based mass determination of collected airborne particulate samples.
