Whatman quantitative filters are designed for gravimetric analyzes and for the preparation of samples for instrumental analyzes.
They are available in three versions to meet all specific needs:
- Ash-free (max content 0.007%) -grade 40-41-42-43-44-589 / 1-589 / 2-589 / 3
- Hardened with low ash content (max 0.015%) - Grade 50-52-54
- Hardened without ash (max 0.006%) - Grade 540-541-542
Grade 40: 8 µm
The classic ashless general purpose filter paper with medium speed and retention capacity.
Typical applications include gravimetric analysis for numerous compounds in cements, clays, iron and steel products; as a primary filter for the separation of solid materials from aqueous extracts in general soil analysis, for the quantitative determination of sediments in milk and as a simple analytical grade filter for the purification of solutions prior to AA spectrophotometry.
It is also used as a high purity filter for the collection of trace elements and radionuclides from the atmosphere.
