Extra Thick Glass Fiber Filters, a Pall Life Sciences product, deliver high particulate-holding capacity for efficient depth filtration of large volumes of solutions.
• Superior grade filters for a variety of biological and environmental methods
• Reduces filtration costs and premature clogging when filtering difficult-to-filter or highly contaminated solutions.
• Extends filter life and reduces final filter changes with high capacity prefilters.
• Eliminates sample contamination. Binder-free borosilicate glass fiber has no added extractables.
• Filters a wide range of particulate loads and viscous solutions with a selection of filter thicknesses from which to choose.
• Filters with binder offer excellent wet strength for easy handling and filter integrity.
