Grade151 Binder-Free Glass Filter Papers

Description

This high performance grade is designed to retain extremely fine particles down to 0.7 µm. Ahlstrom 151 has retention comparable to membrane filter while providing higher flow and loading capacity. Ahlstrom 151 is recommended for filtering fine precipitated proteins. In the filtration of nucleic acids and difficult biochemical solutions, Ahlstrom 151 is used in combination with Ahlstrom 141 as a highly efficient protective and retentive pre-filter to extend the loading capacity of membrane filters. Grade 151 is recommended for use in TCLP procedure as described in test methods for evaluating solid wastes, EPA method 1311. Standard glass microfiber filters contain no binders or other additives that may cause interference to sensitive enzymatic or other chemical reactions. The unique characteristics of glass microfiber filters make its use particularly advantageous to laboratory filtration by enabling fast filtration of large volumes and difficult solutions without premature clogging.
