Highpurity filters contain 0.007% maximum ash content Medium nominal particle retention rating of 8 µm Medium filtration speed (Herzberg 340 s) Particularly useful for gravimetric analysis Whatman Grade 40 highpurity filters from Cytiva's business are generalpurpose papers for quantitative analysis. Grade 40 filters are suitable for a variety of analytical filtration applications. Applications for highpurity Grade 40 filters Highpurity filters support accurate analysis in applications sensitive to very low levels of background contamination and in gravimetric analysis where ash content might affect weight measurements of combusted samples. Cytiva's highpurity Whatman Grade 40 ashless paper is suited to:
Soil analysis, when separating solid matter from aqueous extracts
Quantitative determination of milk sediment
Use as a Clean-Up filter for solutions prior to atomic absorption (AA) spectrometry
Analysis of constituent components in cements, clays, iron, and steel products
Collection of trace elements and radionuclides from the atmosphere
