Grade CFP3 Qualitative Cellulose Filter Paper, 6µm, 185mm, Slow Flow, Hydrophilic, 100/Pk SKU: LE-CFP3-185

Featuring double-thickness cellulose fiber construction delivering enhanced particle retention with 6µm pore size for demanding qualitative filtration applications. Virtually identical to CFP1, but twice as thick resulting in a significantly slower flow rate with a retention of approximately 6µm. Premium-grade cellulose matrix provides exceptional sample capacity and superior absorbency characteristics, making this media ideal for high-volume processing requirements and sample conveyance applications requiring reliable particulate separation.

Key Cellulose Membrane Characteristics

Does not clog as easily as other qualitative cellulose types, allowing for much higher sample volume usage
Demonstrates very high levels of absorbency, permitting use as a sample conveyance substrate
6µm particle retention delivers precise separation for qualitative analysis protocols
Hydrophilic surface properties ensure consistent wetting and optimal flow characteristics
Enhanced thickness construction provides superior mechanical strength during extended filtration cycles

Key Construction Characteristics

185mm diameter accommodates standard laboratory filter holders and funnel configurations
Slow flow rate design optimizes contact time for thorough particulate entrapment
Qualitative cellulose fibers perform separation by entrapping particulate within the random matrix of cellulose fibers
Nonsterile grade suitable for routine laboratory and environmental analysis applications
Compatible equivalents include Whatman 1003-185 and Ahlstrom 2370-1850 for method transferability

LE-CFP3-185 filters excel in methods requiring the determination and identification of particulate in both liquids and gas, delivering consistent performance across diverse analytical protocols. Widely used for general laboratory separation and clarification applications as well as for soil analysis methods, these filters provide the enhanced sample capacity and clog resistance essential for processing challenging samples with high particulate loads. The combination of superior absorbency and controlled slow-flow characteristics makes this media particularly valuable for applications requiring both efficient separation and sample transfer capabilities.
