Quantitative Ashless Filter Paper - 1541-055
Analytical laboratories performing routine gravimetric work need filter paper with consistent, documented ash values across every production lot. Acid-washed cellulose construction reduces inorganic residue to levels below 0.01%, meeting the blank requirements of gravimetric analytical methods. On this basis, rigorous quality control at every production stage ensures physical properties align with published grade specifications before distribution.
Key Filter Paper Characteristics
- Tightly controlled manufacturing produces documented ash content that remains consistent across production lots for method reproducibility.
- Controlled fiber density balances rapid filtration with complete precipitate capture for efficient quantitative determinations.
- Basis weight of 82g/m² indicates the fiber mass per unit area that controls retention, flow rate, and wet strength.
- Acid-hardened cellulose resists degradation during prolonged contact with strong reagents, protecting filtrate integrity.
- Particle retention rating of 22um defines the separation threshold for the application, determining which solids are captured and which pass through.
Whether your method requires simple clarification or precise gravimetric determination, the documented specifications above define what this paper delivers. In these cases, fine fiber construction provides the mechanical integrity you need to transfer collected precipitates to the crucible without sample loss. Take control of your sample preparation variables and ensure that your data reflects the true nature of your work, rather than the quality of your consumables.
