Featuring an ashless cellulose depth medium engineered from high-purity fibers, this Grade 41 quantitative filter paper delivers the fastest filtration speed in the ashless range. The 320mm diameter circles provide a nominal particle retention of 20 to 25 micrometers, making them well suited to coarse particles and gelatinous precipitates such as iron and aluminum hydroxides. With an extremely low ash content, the medium supports accurate gravimetric analysis where residual ash could otherwise affect the weight of combusted samples.
Key Cellulose Media Characteristics
- Hydrophilic cellulose construction that wets readily and supports rapid, consistent flow through the depth matrix.
- Nominal particle retention of 20 to 25 micrometers for capture of coarse particulates and gelatinous precipitates.
- Fast filtration speed, ranking among the quickest ashless quantitative grades for high-throughput workflows.
- Extremely low ash content that minimizes background contamination in gravimetric and trace analysis.
- High loading capacity for samples carrying heavy particulate burdens.
Key Construction Characteristics
