Grade TSS Glass Microfiber Filter, 1.5µm, 47mm, Binderless, Total Suspended Solids, 100/pk SKU: LE-TSS4700

Featuring binderless borosilicate glass microfiber technology delivering HEPA-type filtration efficiency specifically engineered for total suspended solids analysis in water and wastewater applications. Liquid filtration properties have been specifically designed for EPA Methods 2540C and 2540D^1,2 for testing dissolved and suspended solids, providing validated performance for environmental compliance monitoring. Ultra-pure borosilicate construction eliminates extractable contaminants while maintaining exceptional wet strength and high-capacity filtration characteristics essential for gravimetric analysis protocols.

Key Glass Microfiber Membrane Characteristics

Binderless borosilicate glass fiber construction eliminates organic binders and extractables for contamination-free sample processing
1.5µm particle retention efficiency captures fine suspended solids including silt, clay, plankton, and inorganic precipitates
HEPA-type filtration performance delivers high-efficiency retention while maintaining optimal flow rates for time-sensitive analysis
Hydrophobic surface properties resist moisture interference during filtration and subsequent gravimetric determinations
Superior wet strength characteristics withstand vacuum filtration pressures without tearing or dimensional changes

Key Construction Characteristics

Standard 47mm diameter accommodates universal filtration apparatus and EPA-compliant sampling equipment configurations
High-capacity matrix design processes large sample volumes while maintaining consistent retention efficiency throughout filtration cycles
Nonsterile grade optimized for environmental water testing where sterility is not required, reducing cost per analysis
Ultra-low ash content minimizes weight variations during oven drying at 103-105°C as specified in EPA Method 2540D²
Convenient 100-piece packaging ensures adequate supply for routine environmental monitoring and quality control protocols

LE-TSS4700 filters achieve exceptional flow rates and high-capacity processing optimized for suspended solids determinations, accelerating your analytical throughput even during high-volume environmental monitoring campaigns. Outstanding chemical compatibility with acidic and basic solutions maximizes analytical flexibility when processing diverse water and wastewater matrices. EPA compliance transforms these filters into validated reference-grade media for controlling water and wastewater treatment processes and assessing compliance with regulatory requirements¹, providing performance assurance for your critical environmental analysis applications including HPLC eluent filtration, reagent clarification, and moisture analysis support pads.
