Grade C Glass Microfiber Filter, Binderless Borosilicate, 1.2μm, 55mm, RIA/Cell Culture SKU: LE-C5500

Featuring binderless borosilicate glass microfiber technology delivering exceptional fine particle retention with fast flow rates for demanding laboratory applications. Fine porosity design achieves 1.2µm particle retention with 1.85µm mean pore size, providing optimal balance between selectivity and throughput for radioimmunoassay procedures and lymphocyte harvesting protocols. Hydrophobic glass construction maintains operational integrity in the presence of acids, alkalis, organic solvents, and temperatures at or above 500°C, delivering reliable performance across diverse analytical conditions.

Key Glass Microfiber Membrane Characteristics

• Binderless glass microfibers feature maximum flow efficiency while maintaining higher loading capacity than cellulose filters
• 100% borosilicate glass construction eliminates binder contamination and ensures chemical inertness for critical analytical work
• Grade C specifications optimized for RIA procedures and harvesting lymphocytes with proven compatibility for cell culture applications
• Depth filtration matrix with relatively thick media captures significant particulate within pore structure due to large void volume
• Hydrophobic surface properties resist aqueous interference while allowing efficient processing of organic and mixed solvent systems

Key Construction Characteristics

• 55mm diameter accommodates standard laboratory filtration equipment and universal filter holder configurations
• Thermal stability withstands continuous operation above 500°C without degradation for high-temperature analytical protocols
• Binderless construction minimizes fiber shedding compared to resin-bonded alternatives, ensuring sample purity in sensitive applications
• Nonsterile format provides cost-effective solution for routine laboratory filtration where sterility validation is not required
• 100-count packaging delivers convenient inventory management for high-volume laboratories and research facilities

LE-C5500 filters achieve rapid flow rates while maintaining nominal 1.2µm retention characteristics with expected passage of some particles ≥1.2µm, optimizing your analytical workflows for applications requiring both speed and selectivity. Outstanding chemical resistance across pH ranges maximizes compatibility with diverse sample matrices, while proven performance in water and wastewater analysis, gravimetric determinations, and hot gas filtration transforms these filters into versatile analytical tools. Compatible with equivalent products from major manufacturers including Whatman 1822-055 and Millipore APFC 055 00, ensuring seamless integration into established laboratory protocols demanding reliable depth filtration performance.
