FAQs
1. What is the maximum operating temperature for Whatman 597L filter paper?
This filter paper can withstand temperatures up to 120°C in dry conditions, though prolonged exposure to high heat may affect its structural integrity.
2. Can this filter paper be used with acidic or alkaline solutions?
The 597L grade demonstrates good chemical resistance to mild acids and bases, but compatibility should be verified for highly concentrated solutions.
3. How does the wet strength of 597L compare to standard filter papers?
Whatman 597L is specifically engineered with enhanced wet strength, offering up to 30% higher resistance to tearing when wet compared to standard cellulose papers.
4. What is the typical flow rate for this filter paper?
The flow rate varies based on application, but under standard conditions, it provides medium flow rates suitable for most general lab filtration needs.
5. Is this filter paper suitable for sterile filtration applications?
While it can be used in pre-filtration steps, the 597L is not sterilized and should not be considered for final sterile filtration without additional processing.
