LabExact® 934-AH ® 1.5um High Heat Binderless glass microfiber filter 5.5cm (Pack of 100)

LabExact 934-AH ® glass microfiber filters are produced from 100% borosilicate glass microfiber without the use of binders or strengthening agents.
Fine porosity, fast flow rate with a 1.5 um size particle retention. This material is the standard for suspended solids content and related measurements (Standard Methods 2540D and EPA Method 160.2). Also widely used in cell harvesting applications and RIA scintillation counting. Binderless borosilicate glass microfiber enables use up to 550ºC.  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 fibers used to manufacture these depth filters are smooth and uniform. This permits their characteristically high flow rates while allowing retention of exceptionally small particles and high load capacity. These characteristics are particularly important in applications involving high concentrations of particulate or gelatinous substances. In choosing the appropriate filter for a specific application, careful consideration should be given to the physical form and concentration of the material to be captured by the filter.

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 prefiltration prior to surface filtration with substrates such as membranes.
