Phase Separator Filter Paper - 2200-070
Multi-sample extraction workflows benefit from a paper-based separator that processes batches faster than traditional separatory funnel techniques. Silicone penetrates the full fiber depth to provide consistent hydrophobic properties throughout the paper thickness. By design, quality-controlled production produces filter paper with the documented consistency that reproducible analytical and preparative methods demand.
Key Filter Paper Characteristics
- Compatible with common extraction solvents including chlorinated hydrocarbons, ethers, and aromatic compounds.
- Silicone-treated cellulose provides a hydrophobic surface that passes organic phases while retaining aqueous solutions for clean separations.
- Simplifies liquid-liquid extraction workflows by replacing glassware-intensive techniques with a single gravity-fed paper separation step.
- Hydrophobic surface treatment repels water-based phases while allowing organic solvents to pass through by gravity alone.
- Gravity-driven separation eliminates the need for manual draining and venting procedures required with separatory funnels.
When your analytical procedure specifies a particular grade, the retention and purity characteristics documented above confirm method compliance. In practice, consistent hydrophobic treatment across the paper surface ensures uniform phase separation regardless of where your organic layer contacts the filter. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.
