Featuring binderless borosilicate glass microfiber technology delivering exceptional filtration performance with fast flow rates and 1.5µm particle retention. Fine porosity construction with fast flow rate and 1.5µm size particle retention optimizes processing efficiency across suspended particle analysis, cell harvesting, pre-filtration and air monitoring applications. 100% borosilicate glass microfiber construction without the use of binders or strengthening agents ensures chemical inertness while maintaining structural integrity throughout demanding laboratory protocols.
Key Glass Microfiber Membrane Characteristics
- Binderless borosilicate composition creates an inert matrix ideal for sediment entrapment and further analysis without contamination from strengthening agents
- Smooth and uniform fiber construction permits characteristically high flow rates while allowing retention of exceptionally small particles and high load capacity
- Autoclavable glass construction enables sterilization protocols for aseptic applications and enhanced analytical reliability
- Depth filtration matrix traps particulate within the random fiber structure throughout the full thickness of the media for maximum retention efficiency
- Hydrophobic surface characteristics resist moisture interference while maintaining consistent pore structure during extended filtration cycles
Key Construction Characteristics
- 47mm diameter accommodates standard laboratory filter holders and provides optimal filtration area for routine analytical work
- Temperature stability up to 500°C withstands high-temperature processing and incineration protocols for gravimetric analysis
- Standard Methods 2540D1 compliant construction for total suspended solids determination in water and wastewater analysis
- 100-filter packaging ensures consistent availability for high-volume laboratory operations while maintaining sterility and handling convenience
- High particulate concentration tolerance handles gelatinous substances without premature clogging or flow rate degradation
LE-E4700 filters achieve economical processing for suspended particle analysis in water, cell harvesting, pre-filtration and air monitoring applications while delivering the analytical precision required for regulatory compliance testing. Ideal pre-filtration performance prior to surface filtration with membrane substrates extends primary filter life and reduces processing costs in multi-stage filtration systems. Standard Methods 2540D compliance1 ensures validated performance for total suspended solids protocols, providing the analytical reliability essential for environmental monitoring and water quality assessment applications requiring both speed and accuracy.
