Grade F 5.5cm Binderless Glass Microfiber Filter
GRADE E - Fine porosity, fast flow rate, with a 1.5µm size particle retention. This material is an economical media for suspended particle analysis in water, cell harvesting, pre-filtration and air monitoring applications. Binderless borosilicate glass microfiber.
Depth filtration categorizes filter media that traps particulate within the random matrix of fibers found within the thickness of the media. The efficiency rating of the filter is characteristic of the complex void space structure that develops as the fibers overlap. The fibrous material within the filter is commonly glass microfiber, cellulose or polypropylene. In depth filters using glass microfiber, the purity of the filter is dictated by the presence of, if any, binder material that acts as a strengthening agent and aids in holding the fibers together. All of the media described on this page are 100% borosilicate glass and free of binders.
Because of the characteristically high flow rates of depth filters, they are generally used in applications such as single and multi process removal of sediment and coarse particulate. Glass microfiber filters without binders are an ideal medium to entrap sediment for further analysis and counting due to the inert matrix. Also, depth filtration media are commonly used for pre-filtration prior to surface filtration with substrates such as membranes.
