Featuring a refined cellulose medium made from pure cotton linters with an alpha-cellulose content of nearly 100%, this quantitative ashless filter paper delivers a 14 to 17 micron nominal particle retention with a medium flow rate. The 90mm circles carry an ash content of less than 0.007% and a nominal thickness of 180 microns, making them suited to routine gravimetric work where residue weight accuracy is essential. Each pack contains 100 discs.
Key Filter Paper Characteristics
- Quantitative ashless grade with an ash content of less than 0.007%, preserving the integrity of weight measurements after ignition.
- Medium flow rate balanced against a 14 to 17 micron retention range for general-purpose precipitate collection.
- Constructed from refined pulp and pure cotton linters with virtually 100% alpha-cellulose content.
- Nominal thickness of 180 microns provides consistent mechanical handling during filtration.
- Hydrophilic surface wets readily with aqueous samples for steady, reproducible filtration.
Key Construction Characteristics
- 90mm diameter flat disc format compatible with Buchner funnels and pressure filtration setups.
- Supplied nonsterile in a convenient pack of 100 discs.
- Borosilicate-free pure cellulose composition with low background contamination.
This grade maintains a dependable balance of flow and retention across a broad range of analytical separations. The ashless designation supports critical gravimetric procedures where combustion residue must be negligible, helping protect the accuracy of quantitative results and the integrity of your samples.
