Glass Fiber (GF) Filter Paper - EF19074
Water quality monitoring programs need glass microfiber filters with documented retention specifications that satisfy regulatory method requirements. Inorganic glass composition produces ultra-low extractable levels suitable for trace analytical methods sensitive to organic background interference. In effect, controlled manufacturing delivers the documented retention, flow rate, and physical consistency that analytical and preparative filtration methods require.
Key Filter Paper Characteristics
- Borosilicate glass microfiber construction provides depth filtration with loading capacity far exceeding cellulose papers of equivalent retention.
- Thermal stability exceeding 500 degrees C supports ignition-based gravimetric methods without filter decomposition or residue artifacts.
- Chemically inert borosilicate composition resists acids, bases, and organic solvents across the full pH range without fiber degradation.
- Pure borosilicate glass provides ultra-low blank values for trace analytical methods sensitive to organic or inorganic background contamination.
- High void volume between randomly packed fibers sustains rapid flow rates even as accumulated particulate loading increases during filtration.
If your workflow includes both routine clarification and specialized quantitative methods, stocking this versatile grade reduces your inventory complexity. Meeting this challenge, chemical inertness across the full pH range means this filter handles the same aggressive sample matrices your analytical membranes process. Secure your research outcomes by partnering with a filtration solution that understands your need for speed, accuracy, and reproducibility.
