Efficient retention of small size particles to 1.5 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 greater 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; does 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.
As specified for the analysis of water and waste samples in the Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater (1992)
Retains precipitates such as silver chloride
Compares favorably with fritted glass filter crucibles
