Overview
Millipore fibrous disc filters are available in a wide range of flow rates and throughput capacities. Glass fiber filters are available with or without binder resins and can be sterilized by EO, gamma, or autoclave (121 °C at 1 bar).
Glass Fiber Filters with Binder Resin
Millipore filters with binder resin have superior wet strength and are excellent for qualitative analysis and prefiltration, especially for heavily contaminated liquids. They are also widely used for clarification of aqueous solutions.
Type AP15
- Lowest dirt-holding capacity
- Recommended prefilter for 0.2 to 0.6 µm filters
Type AP20
- Lower retention, higher dirt-holding capacity than AP15 filters
- Recommended prefilter for 0.8 to 8.0 µm filters
- Use upstream to protect type AP15 filters
Type AP25
- Added thickness yields same retention and greater dirt-holding capacity as AP20
- Recommended prefilter for 0.9 to 8 µm filters, especially for proteinaceous and heavily contaminated liquids
- Use upstream to protect type AP15 filters
