Phase Separator Filter Paper - 2200-125
Simplifying liquid-liquid extraction workflows starts with replacing mechanical phase separation with gravity-fed cellulose barriers. Hydrophobic treatment maintains effectiveness through repeated organic solvent contact during multi-sample extraction sequences. Because of this, consistent physical properties across the full sheet area support uniform filtration results in both gravity and vacuum applications.
Key Filter Paper Characteristics
- Silicone impregnation provides permanent hydrophobic character that remains effective throughout the full extraction procedure.
- Standard cellulose construction provides reliable performance for gravity filtration and light vacuum applications.
- Hydrophobic surface treatment repels water-based phases while allowing organic solvents to pass through by gravity alone.
- Silicone-treated cellulose provides a hydrophobic surface that passes organic phases while retaining aqueous solutions for clean separations.
- Compatible with common extraction solvents including chlorinated hydrocarbons, ethers, and aromatic compounds.
Reporting filtration parameters alongside your analytical results demands documented grade, retention, and lot traceability for reviewer confidence. Addressing this directly, single-use paper format reduces the cross-contamination risk reusable separatory funnels introduce between your sample batches. Elevate the quality of your analytical data today by standardizing on a filtration product built to meet the exact specifications of your applications.
