Thumbnail Filmstrip of Grade VSS Glass Microfiber Filter, 1.5 µm, 150mm, Binderless High-Temp, 100/Pk Images
Featuring proprietary binderless glass chemistry delivering exceptional thermal stability for volatile suspended solids determination in high-temperature applications beyond typical borosilicate capabilities. Advanced 1.5 µm particle retention with optimized pore structure maintains superior loading capacity while minimizing fiber shedding for enhanced analytical precision. Specialized composition withstands continuous operation to 550°C for Fixed & Volatile Solids analysis1, providing reliable gravimetric performance in demanding wastewater and environmental monitoring protocols.
Key Glass Microfiber Membrane Characteristics
- Binderless construction eliminates organic contamination and thermal degradation during high-temperature ignition cycles
- Proprietary glass chemistry enables operation beyond standard borosilicate limits for extreme temperature solvent filtration
- 1.5 µm retention efficiency captures fine particulates while maintaining high surface area for maximum loading capacity
- Minimal fiber shedding improves quality assurance in gravimetric testing and reduces analytical interference
- Hydrophobic surface chemistry resists moisture interference during ambient air and flue gas monitoring applications
Key Construction Characteristics
- 150mm diameter accommodates standard laboratory filtration equipment and sampling protocols for water quality analysis
- Low percentage weight loss during gravimetric analysis ensures accurate determination of fixed and volatile solids content
- Complex pore structure optimizes flow rates while maintaining precise particle separation for TSS and TDS protocols
- Temperature resistance to 550°C enables volatile solids ignition per Standard Methods 2540E2 requirements
- Chemical compatibility with high-temperature organic solvents and corrosive flue gas environments maximizes application versatility
LE-VSS1500 filters deliver validated performance for EPA Method 160.23 total suspended solids analysis and Standard Methods 2540C & 2540D4 protocols, accelerating your analytical workflows in wastewater treatment monitoring. Outstanding thermal stability transforms these filters into reference-grade media for air pollution monitoring and high-temperature flue gas applications requiring certified compliance performance. Advanced glass chemistry provides the analytical precision demanded for determining organic matter content in activated sludge, industrial wastes, and environmental samples where conventional filters fail at elevated temperatures.
