Shark Skin Filter Paper for Technical Use, 240mm Circle, 100/Pk SKU: 10347519

Qualitative Filter Paper - 10347519

Pre-filtering turbid samples before instrumental analysis needs a paper grade that removes interfering particles while maintaining reasonable flow rates. Standard basis weight specifications provide predictable filter packing density for volumetric displacement calculations in funnel assemblies. Lot-level verification of retention, thickness, and ash content ensures predictable performance when scaling from method development to routine analysis.

Key Filter Paper Characteristics

• Smooth surface finish supports clear visual inspection of retained material and clean separation from the collected filtrate.
• Available in precut circles and sheet stock to match funnel sizes and custom cutting requirements across laboratory applications.
• Particle retention rating of 8-12um defines the separation threshold for the application, determining which solids are captured and which pass through.
• Uniform fiber distribution across the sheet ensures consistent particle retention from edge to center for reproducible filtration results.
• Basis weight of 44g/m² indicates the fiber mass per unit area that controls retention, flow rate, and wet strength.

When your multi-site study requires comparable data across laboratories, papers manufactured to tight documented specifications ensure your results align. Consistent sheet-to-sheet performance reduces the variability your operators encounter during high-volume daily filtration workflows. Make the decision for consistency and reliability, ensuring that your laboratory maintains its reputation for high-quality, error-free output.
