LabExact, LECFP1234-0900, Phase Separating Cellulose Filter Paper, Fast Flow, 9.0cm Diameter
Phase separator filter paper – These cellulose filters create a hydrophobic barrier that can replace a separatory funnel to separate organic solvents from aqueous phase. This grade demonstrates a fast flow rate with similar retention to our Qualitative Grade CFP1 filter paper.Retention: 11µmThickness: 0.20mmBasis weight: 88.0g/m2
This paper is treated with immobilized silicone which allows solvent to pass and retains aqueous phase. Widely used in environmental studies and reduces separation time significantly compared to separatory funnel.
- Quadrant fold or cone fold for use in a filter funnel or simply drop the filter disk into a Buchner funnel
- May be stacked with finer porosity filter paper or used in series for final filtration
- Reduces solvent volume waste in many applications and aids in greater recoveries
- A mature product which is written into many standard methods and SOP’s. It is a lab staple.
