Product Description
The Whatman Grade 597 FF Cellulose Filter Paper | 10311841 is a premium-quality prepleated (folded) qualitative cellulose filter paper designed for fast and efficient routine laboratory filtration. Manufactured from high-purity alpha cellulose, this Grade 597 FF filter paper provides medium-fast filtration with medium to fine particle retention (4–7 µm), making it ideal for analytical, pharmaceutical, food, environmental, and research laboratories. The prepleated design increases the effective filtration surface area, resulting in faster flow rates and higher loading capacity compared to conventional flat filter papers.
Grade 597 FF is widely used for qualitative analytical separations, clarification of liquids, food and beverage analysis, environmental sample preparation, and routine laboratory filtration. It is particularly suitable for applications such as fat determination in food testing, removal of carbon dioxide and turbidity from beverages, and filtration of precipitates with medium to fine particle sizes. The prepleated construction eliminates manual folding, reducing preparation time while maintaining consistent filtration performance. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
