Whatman quantitative filters are designed for gravimetric analysis and the preparation of samples for instrumental analysis.
| Code | Whatmans Grade 40 |
- They are available in three formats designed to meet your specific needs.
- Ash-less: 0.007% ash maximum for Grades 40 to 44 and a maximum of 0.01% for the 589 Grades – very pure filters suitable for a wide range of critical analytical filtration procedures
- Hardened low ash: 0.015% ash maximum – treated with a strong acid to remove trace metals and produce high wet strength and chemical resistance.
- These filters are particularly suitable for Büchner filtration where the tough smooth surface of the filter makes it easy to recover precipitates.
- Hardened ash-less: 0.006% ash maximum – acid hardened to give high wet strength and chemical resistance with extremely low ash content.
- The tough surface makes these filters suitable for a wide range of critical filtration procedures.
Grade 40 (8 µm):
- The classic general-purpose ash-less filter paper with medium speed and retention.
- Typical applications include gravimetric analysis for numerous components in cements, clays, iron, and steel products; as a primary filter for separating solid matter from aqueous extracts in general soil analysis, quantitative determination of sediments in milk and as a pure analytical grade clean-up filter for solutions prior to AA spectrometry.
- Also used as a high-purity filter in the collection of trace elements and radionuclides from the atmosphere.
