Whatman™ Glass Microfiber Filters

Manufactured from 100% borosilicate glass, chemically inert and completely binder free. These depth filters combine fast flow rates with high loading capacity and the retention of very fine particles, extending into the sub-micron range.

Glass microfiber filters can be used at temperatures up to 500° C. They are ideal for use in applications involving air filtration and for gravimetric analysis of volatile materials where ignition is involved.

Whatman glass microfiber filters have a fine capillary structure and can absorb significantly larger quantities of water than an equivalent cellulose filter, making them suitable for spot tests and liquid scintillation counting methods. The filters can also be made completely transparent for subsequent microscopic examination.

General Filtration/Prefiltration: The particle loading capacity of a filtration system can be greatly increased by using a prefilter. Glass microfiber filters such as GF/B or GF/D are ideal because of the low resistance to fluid flow and high particle loading capacity. Whatman Multigrade GMF 150 is particularly valuable for the prefiltration of larger volumes and solutions that are normally difficult to filter.

Grade GF/A

1.6 µm. Highly efficient general filter. Suitable for suspended solids in all types of water and effluent and filtration of particulates in water, algae and bacterial cultures. Also widely used for air pollution monitoring.
