Product Overview
Whatman Grade HGF61 Glass Microfibre Filters are engineered for superior filtration performance, combining high flow rates with exceptional particle retention capabilities. Constructed from 100% borosilicate glass microfibres, these filters exhibit outstanding chemical resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of aggressive solvents and corrosive substances. The HGF61 grade is specifically designed to handle fine particulate matter, ensuring consistent and reliable filtration results even under demanding conditions. The uniform fibre distribution and smooth surface enhance filtration efficiency while minimizing clogging, thereby extending the filter’s operational lifespan. These filters are thermally stable up to 500?C, allowing for high-temperature applications without compromising structural integrity. The inherent hydrophilicity of the glass microfibres ensures rapid wetting and uniform liquid distribution, which is critical for accurate and reproducible results. Each filter undergoes rigorous quality control to meet the stringent standards expected in laboratory environments. The availability in multiple dimensions (30MMx40M, 40MMx25M, 30MMx20M) provides flexibility for various filtration setups, from small-scale experiments to larger analytical procedures. The filters are free from binders or additives, ensuring purity and preventing potential contamination of samples. Their robust construction and consistent performance make them a preferred choice for applications requiring precision and reliability in filtration processes.
