FAQs
What is the particle retention size for Whatman Grade 0048 filter paper?
Grade 0048 has a medium retention rate, typically capturing particles around 2-3 microns in size. This makes it suitable for general filtration tasks where fine particles need to be removed.
Can this filter paper be used for quantitative analysis?
While Grade 0048 is primarily designed for qualitative work, it can be used for some quantitative applications if proper calibration and controls are in place. For precise quantitative analysis, consider a dedicated quantitative-grade filter paper.
Is this filter paper compatible with organic solvents?
Yes, Whatman Grade 0048 cellulose filter paper is compatible with most organic solvents commonly used in labs. However, always check the chemical resistance of cellulose if working with highly aggressive solvents.
How should I store unused filter papers?
Store them in their original packaging or a sealed container in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to humidity or direct sunlight, as this can degrade the paper over time.
