Merck Glass Fiber Filters with Binder

Merck Glass Fiber Filters with Binder, 2 μm

Specifically designed for prefiltration and contamination analysis, Merck Glass Fiber Filters with Binder offer superior efficiency and durability, making them a reliable choice for various filtration needs. These filters are an excellent solution for handling heavily contaminated liquids while maintaining high-quality performance.

Key Features:

• Durable Construction: Binder-resin-enhanced filters provide superior wet strength, ensuring longevity and consistent performance.

• Effective Prefiltration: Ideal for prefiltration of heavily contaminated liquids, including proteinaceous solutions.

• Broad Compatibility: Can be sterilized using various methods, including EO, gamma, or autoclaving (121 °C at 1 bar).

Applications:

• Contamination Analysis: Suitable for environments requiring high standards of clarity.

• Prefiltration: Recommended for use upstream of membranes with pore sizes ranging from 0.8 to 8.0 μm, safeguarding finer filters in the process.

• Clarification: Widely applied for clarifying aqueous solutions.

Type-Specific Benefits:

• Type AP20:

  • Lower retention with higher dirt-holding capacity.
  • An ideal prefilter for 0.8 to 8.0 μm filters.
  • Protects finer filters like AP15.

• Type AP25:

  • Thicker design for greater dirt-holding capacity while retaining similar efficiency as AP20.
  • Excellent for handling heavily contaminated or protein-rich liquids.
  • Also protects finer filters like AP15.
