Glass Fiber (GF) Filter Paper - EF19052
Clarifying biological fluids and cell culture harvests requires depth filtration capacity that cellulose papers and surface-capture membranes cannot match. Liquid scintillation counting and radioimmunoassay procedures need a binderless glass fiber substrate that introduces no chemical interference to sensitive detection methods. Quality-controlled production produces filter paper with the documented consistency that reproducible analytical and preparative methods demand.
Key Filter Paper Characteristics
- Compatible with standard glass and plastic filter holders across all laboratory-standard disc diameters for vacuum and gravity filtration applications.
- Binderless glass fiber construction delivers ultra-low blank values for gravimetric, thermal, and trace analytical methods requiring clean filter backgrounds.
- Pure borosilicate glass construction eliminates organic extractables that could interfere with downstream chromatographic or spectroscopic analysis.
- Thermal stability exceeding 500 degrees C supports ignition-based gravimetric methods without filter decomposition or residue artifacts.
- Borosilicate glass microfiber construction provides depth filtration with loading capacity far exceeding cellulose papers of equivalent retention.
Maintaining accreditation requires documented traceability at every step, and the grade specifications above support your audit readiness. 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.
