Efficient retention of small size particles to 1.6 µm
Extremely high flow rate; filtration takes place both vertically and laterally through the filters
High loading capacity, which continues to filter efficiently for a greatly extended period
Highly resistant to chemical attack; absence of binders ensures that no impurities or changes arise from source. Unaffected by and will not denature biological/biochemical fluids; do not absorb macromolecules even at very low molecular concentrations and are easily sterilized. Wide, useful temperature range which can be used at 500°C and at low temperatures.
1.6 µm Retention
Most widely used in biochemistry for filtration of precipitated proteins
Withstands temperatures to 500°C
Attains much higher counting efficiencies compared with cellulose papers; borosilicate glass without binders
Widely used for reliable results in air pollution analysis
